Dr. James A. "Jimmy" High retired from his orthodontics practice in 2009 after 34 years but now provides free dental care at the Hearts & Hands Clinic one day each week for people who cannot afford to pay. He has supported the clinic in other ways and also continues to teach and mentor future orthodontists. High had tears welling up in his eyes as he approached the front of the ballroom, through applause, Monday to receive the 2017 Citizen of the Year Award from Statesboro's two Rotary Clubs.
