Lisa Curtis, Richland One’s health and physical education coordinator, has been named president-elect of the South Carolina Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (SCAHPERD). The announcement was made at the 2022 SCAHPERD Conference in Myrtle Beach, which was held November 11-13.
