A MOMENTOUS EVENT! Shovels pitched sand into the air today for the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Wagener-Salley High School. Students, parents, teachers, interested citizens, and elected officials flocked to the site. I celebrated with those in attendance, as the Aiken Standard reported:
“You'll have the last old high school, and you're going to have the first and the best high school in all of Aiken County, is that not something...”Taylor said. “You're going to have a grand new high school ... you citizens are the ones who kept pushing this. It wasn't elected officials or even appointed officials or anyone else. You citizens kept this up forever and ever. You got what you want, and it's coming soon.”
