Whereas, it is with great pride that we recognize South Carolinians who are dedicated to giving their time and energy to developing young minds and forging a brighter future for all; and
Whereas, it is appropriate to recognize the achievements of those leaders involved in the public school system and to express appreciation and encouragement to those who continue to inspire children year after year; and
Whereas, Dr. Walter L. Tobin, a South Carolina State College graduate, earned a Master of Education in Secondary Education and Administration from South Carolina State College, an Educational Specialist degree in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina, and a Ph.D in Education Administration from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, Dr. Tobin is a devoted and loving husband and family man; he and his lovely wife, Bernice, have two children, Candice and Walt, and two wonderful grandchildren; and
Whereas, Dr. Tobin, during his career in public education of over forty years, has served with distinction in numerous capacities, as a teacher, a counselor, a coach, a principal of three schools, Secondary Supervisor of Accreditation and Administrative Services with the State Department of Education, Director of the Office of Adult Education with the State Department of Education, Superintendent of Lexington School District 4, Superintendent of Orangeburg School District 5, Associate Faculty Member at the University of South Carolina, and during academic year 2005-2006, as an exceptional Interim Superintendent of the Newberry County School District; and
Whereas, during the 2005-2006 school year, under the outstanding leadership of Dr. Tobin, the Newberry County School District has attained significant accomplishments: it achieved the second highest improvement in SAT scores in South Carolina; its PACT scores received by students in grades 3 through 8 showed improvement in 12 of 24 categories; and it met 26 of 29 Federal education objectives in the continuing goal of striving to meet Annual Yearly Progress (AYP); and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives to pause in their deliberations to recognize such a distinguished South Carolinian as Dr. Walter L. Tobin. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
