When it comes to the city of Decatur, SR Homes has a long-standing history and a stake in the community. President of SR Homes Alex Tetterton’s grandparents’ contributions helped to make the Decatur school system what it is today, and the fact that the builder is creating homes for families whose children and grandchildren may be attending those schools is very important.
Tetterton’s grandfather, Dr. Carl G. Renfroe, moved his family to Decatur in 1953 from Waynesboro, Georgia. Initially serving as the principal of Decatur High School, six years later, he became superintendent of Decatur City Schools. In 1964, Renfroe received his doctorate in education from the University of Georgia. Renfroe’s wife, Mae, also shared a passion for education and initially taught at the old Scottish Rite Hospital. Later, she became Decatur’s first special education teacher at Ponce de Leon Elementary, and then taught third grade at Winnona Park Elementary until her retirement.
Both Carl and Mae Renfroe retired in 1975. After Mae passed away in 2003 and Carl followed in 2004, the family continued their commitment to education by establishing a scholarship memorial with the Decatur Education Foundation. Each year, scholarships are given to one male and one female member of the Decatur High School graduating class in honor of Carl and Mae Renfroe, continuing their legacy of education for generations to come.
Rooted in a commitment to family, SR Homes is continuing its legacy in Decatur through the elegantly constructed new homes they build featuring both energy and maintenance enhancing products families are also sure to benefit from for generations to come.
