Thank you to Charles Young & "community leaders" for your support in providing new signage for Hickory High! Though there's a roadside sign, the main building never had a sign since it was constructed in 1972 & this is just an amazing gift! Built/installed by Sign Systems, Inc.🌪️

Who was that masked man serving lunch to children at Oakwood Elementary? It's the new "Undercover Boss"-also known as Superintendent, Dr. Bryan Taylor! All hands on deck, as HPS employees fill-in to give a helping hand. THANK YOU, DR. TAYLOR! @hickoryschools @CTruittNCDPI
