Veterans of Taylor County honored by TCHS students By Maddie Gumm, Marketing Director, Taylor County High School Taylor County High School hosted its annual student-led Veterans Day Program on Friday, November 8, 2019 in Citizens Bank Arena. Lindsey McPherson, English Teacher, coordinated the event. Veterans were greeted by local Girl Scouts and were pinned with red poppies, symbolizing sacrifice and remembrance. Later in the ceremony, senior Addie Westbrook went into further detail to explain the meaning of the poppy. The ceremony was led by senior Raegan Mardis, with support from senior Alaina Brockman (Opening Reflection), junior Hannah Phillips (poem), freshman Hayley Etherington (poem), junior Grayson Wise (Introduction of Guest Speaker and Closing Remarks), and sophomores Sophie McAnelly and Kaylea Neely (video tribute). The Taylor County High School Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Jericho McCoy, sang “Armed Forces Pride of America” and senior Lea Corbin sang “Proud to be an American.” Also during the ceremony, veterans killed in action were honored and FFA Senior Officers did a demonstration of the Folding of the American Flag.
