TO HONOR AND THANK DWIGHT SMITH FOR 
HIS DEDICATED SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE AIKEN COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND TO 
EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN THE YEARS TO COME.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives has learned that 
Dwight Smith recently stepped down from his position as a member of the Aiken 
County Board of Education after two years of faithful service; and

Whereas, Mr. Smith was elected to the Aiken County Board of Education 
in 2010 and served until 2014. He also served from 2018 to 2024, after his 
re-election to this board. He spent his entire working career of thirty-eight 
years in a variety of roles. He started work at Graniteville High School as a 
teacher and coach; then at Jackson High School as a teacher, head football 
coach, and athletic director; next at North Augusta High School as a teacher 
and coach; then at Leavelle McCampbell Middle School as a teacher, head 
football coach, and athletic director; then at Midland Valley High School as 
its head football coach; next at Leavelle McCampbell Middle School as Assistant 
Principal; then at Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle School as its assistant 
principal; and then finishing his educational career at Gloverville Elementary 
School as its principal; and

Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, Dwight Smith graduated 
from Graniteville High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Newberry 
College in physical education and recreation and a Master of Education in 
Administration and Supervision from the University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, as a school board member, he represented the district's Area 
Three, which covers Byrd Elementary, Clearwater Elementary, Gloverville 
Elementary, Graniteville Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, Warrenville 
Elementary, Highland Springs Middle, Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle, Leavelle 
McCampbell Middle, and Midland Valley High School; and

Whereas, Dr. Corey Murphy, superintendent of the district, offered 
these words in praise of Dwight Smith: "I think of three words when I think of 
Mr. Smith: his passion, his fire, and his dedication to the district and the 
community he served. His presence on the board will be greatly missed"; and

Whereas, grateful for Dwight Smith's outstanding service as both 
educator and Aiken County Board of Education member, the House takes great 
pleasure in wishing him all the best in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, honor and thank Dwight Smith for his dedicated service as a member 
of the Aiken County Board of Education and extend best wishes for much success 
and fulfillment in the years to come.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to Dwight Smith.
