"Academy All-Stars," Ayana and Imani Taylor, opened Tuesday night's SSHS Talent Show, in the
auditorium of the Civic Center.

 

Dedicated to the honor of fellow SSHS Graduate (Class of 2007) and Fallen Soldier, Sgt. Tanner Higgins, the annual SSHS Talent Show, drew a number of participants, on Tuesday night, in the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center Auditorium.

"I feel blessed to have had a front row seat to watch Tanner Higgin's life," expressed Mrs. Sandy Brown, Student Council Advisor. "As a boy and during high school, Tanner was personality plus, had great athleticism, an infectious laugh, and was known as the kid that DID what everyone else wished they had the guts to do. Today we honor Sgt. Tanner Higgins as a true American Hero and he will continue to live long in my heart!"
