Whereas, Dr. Howard has been a teacher, coach, principal, and assistant superintendent with the district, and was recently promoted to Associate Superintendent for Administration of Schools; and
Whereas, as associate superintendent, Dr. Howard has had added to his duties the responsibility for the total district operation in the absence of the superintendent, will assist in coordinating activities among the divisions of operations, personnel, programs and services, and finance, and will continue to assist the superintendent in supervision of the operation of the schools and the instructional program of the schools; and
Whereas, Dr. Howard holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from South Carolina State College, received the Educational Specialist Degree from George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee, was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by Allen University, and has had further training in school administration at the National Academy of School Administration; and
Whereas, Dr. Howard has been active in professional associations by serving as President of the South Carolina Association of Secondary School Principals and by serving in many advisory capacities to the State Department of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools on its state committee;
Whereas, Dr. Howard was honored by South Carolina State University with the Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Historical Black Institution's Presidential Citation; and
Whereas, he was one of twelve black students attending George Peabody College for Teachers in the 1960's, after being selected by the State Department of Education during the early days of segregation; and
Whereas, Dr. Howard was involved closely during integration on the local and state level where he served on state committees to help implement public school integration; and
Whereas, in 1991, Belleville Middle School was renamed Robert E. Howard Middle School. It was on the Belleville campus that Robert E. Howard served as principal and was able to help maintain calm within the community; and
Whereas, Dr. Howard has served many fraternal, civic, and community groups; and
Whereas, Dr. Howard is retiring from Orangeburg School District Five. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
