County Commissioners recognize teens at monthly meeting

County Commissioners recently recognized local teens for making their mark on the community. Singled out during the regular monthly meeting, held July 2, were members of the South Granville High School Softball team, participants of Granville County’s Civic Leadership program and a regional officer of the local 4H Club.

Members of the South Granville High School Softball Team had a perfect 27 and 0 season this year and were congratulated on their state championship win in June. The Lady Vikings have claimed five fast-pitch state championships since 1996, and have won three state titles in the past four years. 

Summer interns of the county’s Civic Leadership Program were also recognized. These six students were selected from several applications submitted for participation in the program. Since early June, they have been rotating through several key areas of county government as they learn about Human Services, Community Service, General Government and Public Safety. Participants include Jade Webb of Granville Central; and Ethan Weaver, Lily Averette, Cameron Thorpe, Ker’Telian Fields, and Rickelle Harrison of Granville Early College High School,

Samuel Dickerson provided a presentation about the 4H Club and was recognized for his work on the regional level. Dickerson will soon be installed as regional Vice-President of 4H. 

Congratulations to all of these outstanding teens!
