At the 2026 Chesnee High School Graduation, you may have seen this purple ribbon in some of the pictures. They were worn in honor of Mayo Elementary School Teacher Jewell Garland who served students at MES for 48 years.

Mrs. Garland passed away in 2019, and graduates, who were in her 5th grade class at the time, say the ribbons were to recognize her and the impact she had on their lives. #D2isFamily
