Fayette High School has a bright new digital sign at its entrance along Highway 5. Commercial Trust Company of Fayette donated $50,000 to help the district replace the old sign. Alexander and Associates installed the new sign on October 2.

“It’s an honor for Commercial Trust to partner with the Fayette R-III Schools in many ways over the years,” said Commercial Trust Co. President Janet Jacobs, herself a Fayette High School graduate. “The school is the heart of our community, and Commercial Trust is proud to show our Falcon pride with the sponsorship of this new sign. We hope everyone who drives by will take pride in our schools and the students, teachers, staff, administration, and parents who all represent Fayette in a positive way throughout our area.”

The new sign features a large digital display that shows the date and time, weather information, positive student messages, a weekly events schedule, and employment opportunities.

The old sign was installed in August 2007 at the request of then Commercial Trust President Jay Jacobs, who, along with his wife, Kelly, donated $500,000 to the school in April of that year.
