   05/12/10  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-73

TO RECOGNIZE DOUGLAS P. WENDEL, CHAIR OF BUSINESS EDUCATION EXPECTATIONS; H. NEYLE WILSON, PRESIDENT OF HORRY-GEORGETOWN TECHNICAL COLLEGE; AND DR. GERRITA POSTLEWAIT, FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF HORRY COUNTY SCHOOLS, FOR THEIR VISIONARY LEADERSHIP IN THE CREATION OF THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL OF HORRY COUNTY.

Whereas, when the Horry County Early College High School was first envisioned, the project goals of its planners were threefold: to increase the graduation rate of Horry County high school students, reduce the time gap between completion of high school and entrance into college, and accelerate the achievement of a college degree through dual enrollment; and

Whereas, with the planners' vision now a reality, the school, having commenced in 2006, will celebrate the successful completion of its inaugural class in 2010; and

Whereas, Douglas P. Wendel, Chair of Business Education Expectations; H. Neyle Wilson, President of Horry-Georgetown Technical College; and Dr. Gerrita Postlewait, former Superintendent of Horry County Schools, the visionaries behind the creation, development, and implementation of the school, have invested countless hours toward its success and are now seeing their tireless efforts rewarded in the achievements of this inaugural class; and

Whereas, it is entirely appropriate that the South Carolina House of Representatives pause in its deliberations to recognize the far-seeing leadership and innovation exemplified by these outstanding educators. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize Douglas P. Wendel, Chair of Business Education Expectations; H. Neyle Wilson, President of Horry-Georgetown Technical College; and Dr. Gerrita Postlewait, former Superintendent of Horry County Schools, for their visionary leadership in the creation of the Early College High School of Horry County.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be presented to Douglas P. Wendel, H. Neyle Wilson, and Dr. Gerrita Postlewait.
