Glade Memorial Highway dedicated in county | Local News

For many years, Fred Blackledge and Frank Lucas guided students of Glade School as they embarked on journeys of education, sports and life. Fittingly so, the strip of Highway 15 that guides students to and from Glade Elementary will now bear their names in honor of the impact they both had on the surrounding community. 

In November 2019, the Mississippi Legislature passed House Bill 726, designating the section of Highway 15 between the corporate limits of the city of Laurel and the intersection of Triangle Drive/Country Circle as the “Glade Memorial Highway” in memory of the late Blackledge and Lucas.
