Meigs County Mayor Eddie Jewell

April 21, 2026. I was honored to attend and celebrate the first DARE Graduation Ceremony in many years for Meigs County. Meigs County Sheriff’s Deputy/SRO Timothy Ark was the instructor. Over sixty 5th Graders at Meigs North Elementary made up the graduating class.

The DARE Program was made possible through the Opioid Abatement funding for Meigs County.
