A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE TREVOR T. IVEY ON BEING NAMED SUMTER SCHOOL DISTRICT TEACHER OF THE YEAR AND TO THANK HIM FOR HIS YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE AS AN EDUCATOR.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Trevor T. Ivey has been named Sumter School District Teacher of the Year; and
Whereas, a seventh- and eighth-grade Challenge Science and Pro-Team teacher for 2012-2013 at Sumter's Alice Drive Middle School, Trevor T. Ivey has been appointed assistant principal at his school for 2013-2014; and
Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, he earned his bachelor's degree in elementary education from the University of South Carolina Upstate, followed by two master's degrees in education, one from Lesley University and the other from Harvard University. He also earned an education specialist degree from South Carolina State University; and
Whereas, he began his career in education at High Hills Elementary School, where he taught fourth- and fifth-grade English language arts and social studies. In addition, he taught third-grade science at Cherryvale Elementary for two years before moving to Massachusetts to attend Harvard, and he has taught math at Sumter County Adult Education and sixth-grade science at Achievement First in New York City; and
Whereas, this young educator, himself a proud graduate of the Sumter County schools, believes that highly effective teachers must set big goals, invest in students and their families, plan purposefully, execute effectively, continuously increase their effectiveness, and work relentlessly. Anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Ivey's classroom or watching him in action with his scholars knows he exhibits these actions daily and is fully committed to his students, his school, and his profession; and
Whereas, grateful for the consistent commitment and excellence as an educator that Trevor T. Ivey has bestowed on the people of South Carolina, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in saluting him on receiving the prestigious Sumter School District Teacher of the Year award. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Trevor T. Ivey on being named Sumter School District Teacher of the Year and thank him for his years of dedicated service as an educator.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Trevor T. Ivey.
