Whereas, Dot King is in her fifty-second year of teaching in the Aiken County public schools; she was the first kindergarten teacher in the county and was also the first child development teacher for four-year-old children; and

Whereas, Ms. King was instrumental in starting the first Headstart program in the Aiken area, and she received the Wil Lou Gray Award in 1996 -- an honor bestowed upon the educator in South Carolina who best exemplifies the pioneering spirit of the late Dr. Wil Lou Gray; and

Whereas, Ms. King serves as adult education teacher for the family literacy program in Aiken County; she has been named a finalist in 1997 in the National Family Literacy Teacher of the Year competition and will be recognized and honored in April at the National Family Literacy Conference in Louisville, Kentucky; and

Whereas, she is a dynamic, energetic, and dedicated individual; she cares greatly for others and does everything she can think to do to serve and assist her students; she is indeed a role model and a leader and has contributed in countless ways to excellence in public education in Aiken County and South Carolina; and

Whereas, we are proud and delighted to have this opportunity to recognize such an outstanding lady and devoted educator. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
