Whereas, basing their selections on the absolute and improvement ratings assigned to each South Carolina school on the previous year's report card, the South Carolina Department of Education has granted 2014-2015 Palmetto Gold and Silver honors to 533 high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools in the State in this prestigious list of schools; and

Whereas, thanks to the hard work of students, parents, faculty, staff, and administration, Cheraw High School has captured this Palmetto Gold Award for General Performance and has demonstrated what can be accomplished when all stakeholders have high expectations and strive to help students reach the full measure of their talents and skills; and

Whereas, to formally recognize Cheraw High School and the other winning schools for capturing a Palmetto Award, the South Carolina Department of Education sends a certificate and a Palmetto Award winner flag to be posted in front of the school; and

Whereas, fully expecting continued academic excellence from this standout school, the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to recognize the fine educational achievement of 2014-2015 Palmetto Gold Award for General Performance winner Cheraw High School. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
