Congratulations to Chase Oakley for having been selected by American Legion Post 74 to attend Palmetto Boys State in June 2020. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the residency event was cancelled.

Department Commander Richardson, a Boys State T-shirt, graduation cord for his 12th grade ceremony in 2021, and a lapel pin.
