National Student-Athlete Day | April 6 🏅
Today, we are celebrating National Student-Athlete Day by recognizing the many members of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office who spent their high school or college years balancing academics 📚, athletics 🏈🏀⚽🎾⚾, and the hard work that comes with both.
The discipline, teamwork, leadership, and determination developed on the field, court, track, and beyond continue to show up every day in the work they do serving our community 💪⭐.
Thank you to all of our CCSO team members who shared their student-athlete photos with us 📸. Your dedication then and now makes a difference.
Once a teammate, always a teammate 👟.
