The members of the Pickens Azalea Festival committee may not have been able to host the annual Pickens Azalea Festival in April, but they have found a way to honor the Pickens High School Class of 2020 — with a billboard on S.C. Highway 8 near the Landmark Baptist Church sign. The sign went up on Monday. Pickens High School principal Corey Willimon agreed to allow the Azalea committee to purchase the billboard to honor all the hard work and dedication the students have shown during this unique time amid the COVID-19 global pandemic. The pandemic has forced the closure of schools across the nation. Students are finishing the school year through e-learning and missing out on so many traditional senior year activities.
