VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OLD POMARIA SCHOOL SCHEDULED TO BE CELEBRATED ON MAY 18, 2013.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Old Pomaria School will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary on Saturday, May 18, 2013; and
Whereas, this centennial anniversary will salute the history of the Old Pomaria School, acknowledge its impact on the lives of many people, and bring former students from across the years back to the school building they love; and
Whereas, the Pomaria School was erected in 1913. It served elementary and high school students, who were required to complete eleven grades to graduate. In 1935, the Old Pomaria School was enlarged, gaining five class rooms, a gymnasium, and an auditorium. Starting in 1948, completion of the twelfth grade became mandatory for graduation; and
Whereas, in 1959, the Pomaria, Little Mountain, and Prosperity high schools merged into Mid-Carolina High School; and
Whereas, in 1970, the Old Pomaria School began serving grades one through four, while Garmany School, a local former African-American elementary school, began serving grades five through eight. Later, all elementary students began attending the newly named Pomaria-Garmany Elementary School, and grades six, seven, and eight moved to Mid-Carolina Middle School; and
Whereas, grateful for the recognition that the Old Pomaria School's former students, faculty, and staff have brought to their school and community, the House looks with pleasure to hearing of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the one hundredth anniversary of the Old Pomaria School scheduled to be celebrated on May 18, 2013.
