The bill, H. 5032, is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring the students and teacher coaches from River Bluff High School for their outstanding achievement in the We the People competition, where they won the 2025 South Carolina We the People State Championship. The resolution highlights the team's success in demonstrating their knowledge of the United States Constitution and history, as well as their ability to engage in civil discourse and public speaking. The competition, which is sponsored by the South Carolina Bar Association's Law Related Education Division, aims to enhance students' understanding of constitutional principles through a simulated Congressional hearing format.
The resolution commends the efforts of teacher coaches Linsy Dooley, Meredith Mowles, and Michael Burgess for their guidance and support in preparing the students for the competition. It expresses appreciation for the pride and recognition the River Bluff We the People team has brought to their school and community, and it looks forward to their future accomplishments. A copy of the resolution will be presented to the teacher coaches as a formal acknowledgment of their contributions.
