Past Most Excellent Grand High Priests
The Companions pictured below have honorably served as Most Excellent Grand High Priests for the Most Excellent Grand Chapter Holy Royal Arch Masons Jurisdiction of North Carolina, Incorporated.
The solid foundation laid by these great Companions, along with the humility they all displayed through the decades has stood the test of time. We are ever so thankful to the Great I Am for them as we continue to work in the quarries and stand proudly on the shoulders of their great legacies.
As they did before us, we will continue to grow our Most Excellent Grand Chapter and be those progressive leaders within the General Grand Conference!
