Greenville High Seniors Vote for the First Time, Mayor Simmons Says

Greenville Mayor Errick D. Simmons expressed gratitude to Greenville Public School District officials for facilitating a historic moment for seniors at Greenville High School.

Simmons thanked Superintendent Dr. Ilean Richards, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Terrance Hill, Principal Wardell, and educators Lakecia Hearn and Chiconna Bowman for ensuring students had the opportunity to vote for the first time.
