Whereas, at Brookland-Cayce students are offered a strong mix of intellectual challenges and stimulating extracurricular activities, and dedicated teachers and parents produce an atmosphere that ensures high academic performance; and

Whereas, the achievements of the faculty, staff, and students of this outstanding school bring deserved credit not only upon themselves but upon their county, city, and State as well; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and commend Brookland-Cayce High School upon its receipt of this truly outstanding award. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
