A current project is underway for the restoration of the historic Fairmount High School.  This is where James Dean attended high school along with other celebrities including Jim Davis (the creator of Garfield), CBS newsman, Phil Jones; Bob Sheets, director of the National Hurricane Center; and Artist, Olive Rush.  The high school is currently on the 10 most endangered structures list in Indiana.
