Accompanied by his family, Copeland received a key to the city from Mayor Wayne Best and the council.

Additionally, a new road near the high school, named Jermaine Copeland Parkway, was announced in his honor.

Copeland earned a standing ovation for his past contributions to the city and expressed deep gratitude.
