As a nationally recognized Monarch City, Greer is dedicated to protecting our pollinators. Our parks teams not only plant pollinator-friendly flowers throughout city parks and green spaces — they also nurture caterpillars as they transform into butterflies. This year alone, we’ve released more than 20!
We love sharing this front-row seat with the community as our Monarchs take flight and begin their journey south.

Few individuals have embodied the spirit of Greer quite like Lonnie “Gee” McGee. For decades, Gee was an honorary member of the Greer High School football team and a beloved presence on the sidelines of Greer Youth Football where his encouragement and dedication inspired generations of players. His community spirit extended beyond the field, as he proudly led the Yellow Jackets Marching Band in the City of Greer’s annual Christmas Parade for many years, spreading joy to residents across the Upstate.
To commemorate his lasting impact, the City of Greer will dedicate the field at Greer City Stadium in his name on Monday, October 20, at 5:00 p.m. The ceremony will take place immediately prior to the 8U Greer Jr. Jackets playoff game. Please note that parking will be limited.

From his years as a Yellow Jacket football player to decades of supporting Greer athletics by escorting officials to home games, preparing game-day traditions, and ensuring the famous Yellow Jacket team entrance, Carl has been a true ambassador for Greer High and our community.
Congratulations, Carl!
