When Isabelle Charters Embry dons her cap and gown to receive her diploma with the rest of the graduating class of 2017 at Gainesville High School in May, she will take her place on a distinguished family tree — the fifth generation to graduate from GHS. Charters, as she is called, is the daughter of Cooper Embry, who graduated from GHS in 1988. Embry and his wife Elizabeth have two other children — Price, a freshman at GHS, and daughter Margaret, a seventh-grader at Gainesville Middle School. Embry said the family traces its GHS roots to 1903 when his great-grandfather, Sidney O. Smith Sr., a prominent businessman and civic leader in Gainesville, graduated from the old high school on Main Street.
