A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR CARLIE EDISON ARNETTE, JR., PRINCIPAL OF LAKE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL, FOR HIS OUTSTANDING DEDICATION TO THE EDUCATION OF STUDENTS IN HIS COMMUNITY, GIVING STRENGTH AND DIGNITY TO OUR GREAT STATE.

Whereas, it is altogether fitting that the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina should pause in their deliberations to commend Carlie Edison Arnette, Jr., for his significant contributions to education in the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, born in Dillon, Carlie Arnette graduated from Dillon High School in 1977 and earned a bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Furman University, later becoming certified to teach history; and

Whereas, in 1983, he married his beloved wife, Barbara Ann Arnette, and together they have reared two fine children, Brooks and Mackenzie; and

Whereas, later in 1983, Mr. Arnette began teaching history at Lake View where he was able to influence the lives of many young athletes as the coach of several teams, including softball, basketball, junior varsity football, and baseball. He led one of his teams to win the lower state championship in 1987; and

Whereas, he became principal of Lake View High School in 1991 after earning a master's degree in administration from the University of South Carolina and has spent countless hours to ensure that the students who come through Lake View High School have an opportunity to succeed; and

Whereas, so dedicated to his students is he, that if any student decides to drop out of school, Mr. Arnette considers it a personal defeat, and he feels he has failed the student somehow; and

Whereas, graduates often return to visit the school to thank him for giving them a second or third chance or extra help that enabled them to complete high school; and

Whereas, Carlie Arnette has been approached by others more than once to ask why he remains in a school as small as Lake View, and his answer is earnest: he values the close knit atmosphere that permeates Lake View and the ability to know each student by name; and

Whereas, Mr. Arnette enjoys hunting and fishing, and even in his hobbies, he constantly exhibits his deep commitment to the community. He is always willing to share his catch, no matter the size, with people of the community and with surrounding churches; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives sincerely appreciates the deep devotion that Carlie Arnette has given to educating students at Lake View High School over the years and the significant difference he has made in the lives of so many. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor Carlie Edison Arnette, Jr., principal of Lake View High School, for his outstanding dedication to the education of students in his community, giving strength and dignity to our great State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Carlie Edison Arnette, Jr.
