Over the years, it is slowly chipping away as a result of cars parking against it, weather, and the normal student traffic heading in and out of the buildings. For 15 years, I have annually found an excuse not to replace it. Parking lot resurfacing, renovations, and upcoming construction have been the reasons to not waste money on a “short-term” project. With the launch of our Give Back Home Campaign for Christian Brothers High School, we look to position CBHS and the Brothers to serve Memphis, deliver on our Lasallian mission and to remain a leader in a competitive private school landscape for years to come. This campaign is providing for academic programs and resources, new and updated facilities and resources to be shared by current and future students. With the completion of the first and silent phase of our Give Back Home Campaign, we saw the renovation to Heffernan Hall and our Brothers Residence, the construction of McEniry Hall to serve our STEMM program, and the capstone of the first phase in the Brothers Development Center that provides a first-class facility for our student- athletes.

    B I O Sue Layman Lightman, a renowned artist, places daring geometric shapes and empowering brilliant colors that create new energetic dimensions. The S U E unique style of Sue’s paintings is as diverse as the culture and creative environment in which we live. Sue believes today we are forced to contend L A Y M A N with the forces of light and darkness. What causes a person to desire one or the other has always been a mystery. In her paintings, these forces find L I G H T M A N harmony, rhythm and adventure. A r t i s t / G a l l e r y O w n e r Sue opened her art gallery, Sue Layman Designs, in Memphis, Tennessee's South Main Historic Arts District in 2006. The modern three-story structure showcases only paintings from her collections.
