BOE celebrates student success, firefighter efforts

The Union County Board of Education recognized the Union County High School Cross Country Teams at its Feb. 26 work session following state tourney placements for both boys and girls. Specifically, the boys team won Third Place in state, and the girls took home Fourth Place.

Similarly, the Extra Mile Award was awarded to Union County Fire Capt. Justin Blanchard and Firefighter Jason Reese. According to Director of Teaching and Learning C.T. Hussion, the pair responded to a “student emergency” that could have ended in tragedy. Although details were kept under wraps to protect the student’s privacy, Hussion believes the pair absolutely saved a life that day.
