At Memphis School of Excellence, we believe every child deserves the chance to fall in love with learning, and that's exactly what Dolly Parton spent her life fighting for. Through her Imagination Library, she sent free books to children across Tennessee, including right here in Memphis, planting seeds of literacy long before students ever walk through our doors. Her belief that education can open any door, no matter where you start, is a belief we carry with us every day at MSE.

"The seeds of dreams are often found in books."
— Dolly Parton

Thank you, Dolly, for investing in generations of Tennessee readers and dreamers.

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton
1946-2026
