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.
