Bill > S0474

This resolution congratulates the Palmetto Academy for Learning and Success from Myrtle Beach for winning the 2025 We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution middle school competition. The competition, sponsored nationally by the Center for Civic Education and locally by the South Carolina Bar, involves an in-depth study of the American Constitution where students participate in a mock congressional hearing discussing critical issues related to government, the Founding Fathers, and current events from a constitutional perspective. The resolution highlights the team's success under teacher Robert Decerbo's guidance and names all 16 team members who competed. The resolution acknowledges that the team will advance to the virtual National Invitational Competition in late April and celebrates the pride and recognition the team has brought to their school and community. The Senate formally resolves to congratulate the team and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to the team and their teacher.
