ERATH — Dozier Elementary celebrated the 50th Anniversary date of the school’s opening on August 29, 1972. Originally, the celebration was set for Monday, August 29, 2022, but Erath had no school that day due to town electrical issues. Though the celebration was postponed and held on Tuesday, August 30th instead, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the celebration in the least. In 1972, the feeder school was for all students in grades 1st-3rd grade. The doors opened with Principal Johnnie Suire, 29 faculty and staff members, and 271 students in grades, one, two, and three.
