The City of Greer has a long history of athletic excellence, and last Friday’s Greer High School Hall of Fame ceremony carried on that tradition!
We are proud to celebrate our very own Deputy Fire Marshal, Carl Howell (GHS Class of 1967), on his well-deserved induction.
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!
