Now you Know...The
first graduating class of Blythewood High School was in 1949. That
was not that long ago! Shirley B. was the first to answer the
question! Shirley told me her graduating class of 1970 was the last
class to graduate from there and her granddaughter's class was the
first to graduate from the new BHS in 2006.
Did you Know...Mr.
Price will be providing so much for our students in his new job as
Assistant Superintendent! What did Richland County School
District provide their students in 1918 that was monumental in the
early days of education in South Carolina?
Congrats
to all the teachers, students ,
parents and administrators who made it through another school year! Enjoy a
fun filled summer!
Also,
congrats to the 180 students honored at the BHS
All-School Awards Night! And to the ROTC cadets who
were awarded for their hard work and dedication!
And...
to Mr. Price who
will be the new Assistant
Superintendend for RSD2. He has
a lot of homework this summer!
And
...to John Cummer, a
brave member of our community, for a wonderful write up in the
State Newspaper. Mr. Cummer made multiple trips between England and
Normandy during the Normandy Invasion. This week is the 70th anniversary of the invasion!
Congratulations to all the winners in Blythewood!
