HOSCHTON, GA. – Carroll Daniel Construction joined Jackson County School System (JCSS) officials and community members to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Heroes Elementary School. The event began with a V.I.P. tour of the school, followed by Heroes Elementary School students raising the American flag while the the Jackson County High School Band performed the National Anthem.
JCSS Superintendent, Dr. Philip Brown, shared opening remarks and introduced the Board of Education members and distinguished guests in attendance.
