So will that event be held at the old Herod Or The New One? Just Wondering 🤷🏻♀️ Congratulations To The Legendary James Herod! What I remember of him, He was a man about structure, he was devoted & dedicated to his students and school. He was determined to change the negative Standing that was given to the school by Most of the community in years past. He saw what greatness could come and thrived for that always. He also believed that We (His students) should never take advantage of the opportunities we were allowed that others were not, Like Education. I know his family is Proud and most definitely should be 👏
This is community❤️ This is Abbeville❤️
