The McIndoes Academy Trustees lovingly cared for the McIndoes Academy from 1969 to the present day. The Trustees now plan to upgrade the McIndoes Academy building and grounds to develop a vibrant and engaging community center. Wallace Thrall, McIndoes Academy President, shared the following at the Olive Cheney Legacy Celebration on October 17,
2021, “We are here to honor Olive Cheney and to celebrate her amazing gift to McIndoes Academy. A gift of opportunity. The opportunity to create something special here. This unique structure, which served this community for 116 years as an educational institution, has survived in fine condition, thanks to 50 years of careful stewardship by a dedicated Board of Trustees. Now, our task, not only as the Board but also as a community, is to take advantage of this opportunity to make the necessary changes and improvements to the building so that we can take full advantage of all it has to offer, both inside and outside.”
