Recognizes and honors Ellen Woodside Elementary School in Greenville County for 100 years of educational service, congratulating Principal Shawn McCain, students, and faculty

The school originated in 1925 when John T. Woodside donated five acres and paid half the construction costs, with a $13,000 bond funding the remainder of the high school building

The school transitioned from a high school to an elementary school in 1966 when Woodmont High School was built, combining students from Ellen Woodside and Piedmont High schools

Ellen Woodside Elementary has received multiple honors including a Palmetto Silver Award, Duke Energy Award, Exemplary Writing School Award, and Safe Kids School designation, with five National Board-certified teachers

Directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Principal Shawn McCain
