Mount Morris Township, Mich. – A Detroit Rocket Mortgage executive is helping to keep the legacy of one Genesee County high school alive.
Located in Mount Morris Township, just north of Flint, is the Beecher Community School District. Beecher High School is the heart of the community.
The high school itself closed due to lack of funding for upkeep and declining enrollment following the closure of the General Motors plants.
Now, all the students K-12 are learning together in a middle school building.
But remarkably, the high school’s legacy as one of the state’s winningest basketball programs still lives on.
A Detroit Rocket Mortgage executive has adopted this school and invited Local 4′s Rhonda Walker to see what makes it special.
