More than 325 2nd graders and more than 300 5th graders from Fleeta School, Pleasant Home School, Red Level Elementary, Straight Elementary, and WS Harlan Elementary gathered at Covington County School’s Central Office for separate ceremonies in which they recognized their heroes yesterday.

The ceremony marked the completion of 10 weeks in the Super Citizen Program.
