Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Brook Sill was crowned the 2013 Miss South Carolina Teen; and

Whereas, a resident of Duncan, the reigning Miss South Carolina Teen was the first runner-up in the 2011 Miss South Carolina Teen Pageant as a high school freshman; and

Whereas, now a senior at the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, Brook Sill has received academic honors as a member of the National Honor Society, the Dean's List, the National Honor Society for Dance Arts, and the National Beta Club; and

Whereas, she has served as a delegate to Palmetto Girls State, a counselor in training at Camp Voyager, her homeroom president at Byrnes High School, the president of the student council at Dawkins Middle School, an officer for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and a dance team leader; and
