Whereas, Mr. McIntosh received a diploma from Voorhees College in 1924, his Bachelor of Arts degree in Agriculture from South Carolina State College in 1951 and his Masters in Education degree from South Carolina State College in 1956; and
Whereas, devoting fifty years of his professional career to the field of education in South Carolina, he served as Principal of Edgefield County Training School from 1924 to 1932, Principal of Bettis Junior College's High School Department in Edgefield County from 1933 to 1936, Principal of Centenary Elementary School in Marion County from 1937 to 1938, Principal of Saint Mark Elementary and High Schools in Allendale County from 1939 to 1957, Principal of Allendale Training Elementary School in Allendale County from 1958 to 1960, Principal of Fairfax Training School in Allendale County from 1961 to 1969, Assistant Principal of Allendale Middle School in Allendale County from 1969 to 1972, and Director of the Allendale County Adult Education Program from 1978 to 1980; and
