Congratulations to our very own Nigel Echols! We were able to celebrate his graduation today. He will get to walk for graduation in May, we just wanted to commemorate his last day on campus. He has been such a blessing to not just Heard County High School, but the entire school system. He has an infectious smile and a high five for everyone! We love you Nigel and are proud of you!
