Among the Simpsonville Mayor, multiple Legislators, students, teachers, Admin, staff, and community members, we unveiled and rededicated a brand new, beautifully painted Freedom Shrine. A gift from the class of 2024, the HHS Media Marketing team, and Officer Madden, the Freedom Shrine was an honor bestowed upon HHS many years ago and it needed an update so that classes are able to come and use it to learn and enjoy.
Many thanks go our to the following:
