Reggie Turner

Reggie Turner, a 1990 graduate of Appomattox County High School, is being honored for his exceptional athletic achievements and his extensive leadership in both community service and professional spheres. A standout in both Varsity Basketball and Varsity Baseball, Reggie lettered in baseball for three years and basketball for two, earning a basketball scholarship to Longwood University. He later transferred to Frostburg State University, where he delivered standout performances, including a 40-point, 15-rebound game followed by a 32-point, 12-rebound effort, solidifying his reputation as a dominant force on the court. While Reggie's athletic accomplishments laid the foundation for his career, his impact extends far beyond sports. He has become a leader in historic preservation and community development, currently serving on several important state commissions. In 2017, he was appointed by former Governor Larry Hogan to the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture (MCAAHC), a state commission tasked with preserving and promoting the contributions of African Americans to Maryland’s history. Reggie was reappointed by Governor Wes Moore to continue his vital work on the Commission. He is also a member of Maryland 250, another state commission responsible for planning Maryland’s role in the upcoming celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary, focusing on Maryland’s historical contributions to the founding of the United States.
