The South Carolina Senate has introduced a resolution to honor the W.J. Keenan High School Class of 1975 on the occasion of their fiftieth reunion. This resolution commends the class for their legacy of unity, achievement, and perseverance, particularly during a time of significant challenges such as integration and the transition from junior high to high school. The Class of 1975 is recognized for their resilience and determination, having set a standard of excellence by being the first to complete four full years at W.J. Keenan High School.
Additionally, the resolution highlights the class's historic accomplishments, including winning the 1975 AAAA state basketball championship and electing the school's first African American female student council president. These achievements reflect the class's commitment to progress and inclusion. The Senate encourages future generations to draw inspiration from the Class of 1975's example as they strive to build their own legacies of resilience, achievement, and unity.
