A house RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2026, AS "ETIQUETTE 
DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA" AND TO COMMEND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S 
EDUCATIONAL TALENT SEARCH PROGRAM AND ITS STUDENTS FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING 
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS IN BECOMING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.

Whereas, the 
Educational Talent Search Program at the University of South Carolina 
encourages middle and high school students to complete their secondary 
education and to pursue completion of post-secondary degrees; and

Whereas, the 
Educational Talent Search Program serves to prepare students of tomorrow with 
the skills and knowledge to become productive and contributing members of 
society; and

Whereas, a key 
component of student success is the use of etiquette and decorum that allows 
students to respond appropriately in familiar and unfamiliar situations and 
helps to build self-confidence and self-esteem; and

Whereas, the 
eighth-grade curriculum focuses on etiquette during the month of February and 
culminates with a luncheon on Thursday, March 5, 2026, designed to provide 
students an opportunity to implement what they have learned in a practical 
setting; and

Whereas, the lessons 
learned by these students are lessons that all South Carolinians would benefit 
from learning. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, declare Thursday, March 5, 2026, as "Etiquette Day in South 
Carolina" and commend the University of South Carolina's Educational Talent 
Search Program and its participants for their outstanding achievements and 
progress in becoming productive citizens.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Ms. Althea Counts, director of 
TRIO Programs and Regina Hailey Smith, associate director at the University of 
South Carolina.
