At the regular monthly Board of Education meeting for October, Swain County Schools and Superintendent Mark Sale recognized retiring Board member Gerald McKinney for his years of service to the students of Swain County. For some 46 years Mr McKinney has been a part of Swain County Schools as a teacher, administrator and board member. He has served the last 16 years as a member of the Board of Education, including terms as Chairman of the Board. He was given Thank You cards signed by each of the students in Swain County Schools, as well as a beautiful wooden table made from the old bleachers that came from the Swain High gym.
Thank you Mr McKinney!!
