The N.C. Highway Patrol recently gave Polk County High School a wooden plaque in recognition for all the support the school has given the highway patrol though the years. Shown here are Mary Feagan, PCHS principal; Brandon Schweitzer, assistant principal; Pat McCool, assistant athletic director; N.C. Highway Patrol Troopers William Hemphill, Darryl Bailey and Matt Stawbridge. Stawbridge went to Polk County Schools and is now stationed here. (photo submitted by N.C. Highway Patrol)
