Our mission: To create a public art project focusing on Doc Buchanan's contribution to the Clovis way of life.

Our class chose its mission after being visited by Dr. Floyd Buchanan, the legendary founder of the Clovis Unified School District. "Doc", who has been called a "Clovis Legend" captured us with his vision, his message and vital energy. With the simple philosophy, "A fair break for every kid", Doc built a school district that has become nationally and sometimes even internationally recognized for excellence. We chose our project to capture history, to honor a great educator, and to create a permanent structure to a man who caused such extraordinary change and development in the Valley.

We would like you to be part of this history marking event. You too can become part of history as you help us materialize this dream.

If you believe and/or have experienced the excellence of Clovis Schools, join us in this journey to completing the construction of the life sized bronze sculpture of the "Doc" holding hands with two children as you see pictured.

We have raised $15,000 dollars. The cost of the project is $45,000 dollars.

We chose Sam Pena, a local sculptor from Visalia, CA who is well known for his bronze work. Some of his work is shown in Washington DC's Extra Mile, which comprises a series of bronze medallions to honor heroes of our Nation's service movement forming a one-mile, walking path just blocks from the white house.

Join us, help us build this to give back to the Clovis Community for citizens and visitors to appreciate and remember the man who made Clovis Unified what it is today.

Donate $1, $5 or your spare change, but help us show the world that Clovis citizens care about its history.

Your Tax Deductible donation will get you a DVD that reveals a never before seen interview with the "Doc". Yes, with Clovis' very own Dr. Buchanan and the challenges he faced in the historic transformation of Clovis Unified School District.
