Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Chesnee Middle School teacher Dacia Moore recently has received two coveted honors: the 2026 Exceptional Educator of the Year Award, given by the South Carolina Council for Exceptional Children, and the 2025 Cooperating Teacher of the Year Award, conferred by the South Carolina Association of Teacher Educators (SCATE); and
Whereas, the Exceptional Educator of the Year Award, bestowed in recognition of an educator's outstanding contribution to the advancement of exceptional children and youth, was officially presented at a luncheon held on February 27, 2026, at the Myrtle Beach Hilton Resort; the Cooperating Teacher of the Year Award was officially given at the SCATE annual conference on October 4, 2025, the scene being the organization's awards luncheon, which took place at Coastal Carolina University; and
Whereas, in addition to her duties as a special education teacher, Dacia Moore serves Chesnee Middle as athletic director, head girls basketball coach, and strength and conditioning coach; and
Whereas, South Carolina is fortunate to have such committed and caring teachers as Dacia Moore educating and molding South Carolina's youth; and
Whereas, it is entirely appropriate for the South Carolina House to pause in its deliberations to honor Chesnee Middle School teacher Dacia Moore for winning two such high recognitions and for amply providing her students the opportunity to live complete and successful lives as outstanding citizens of their communities. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Dacia Moore of Chesnee Middle School upon being named 2026 South Carolina Council for Exceptional Children Exceptional Educator of the Year and 2025 South Carolina Association of Teacher Educators Cooperating Teacher of the Year, express appreciation for her dedicated service to children, and wish her continued success in the future.
