Students Visit the State House

Mr. John Wall’s Seventh Grade History Class Visits the State Treasurer and the State HouseCurtis M. Loftis, Jr. South Carolina State Treasurer:
“It was a pleasure to meet with 7th graders from Carolina Academy in Lake City today. I tackled questions like "how much money does the office handle" to "how much does the state spend" to the always tough question from one boy "have you heard of Ric Flair?" — in Columbia, SC.
For the record, yes, I have heard of Ric Flair, The Nature Boy in addition to answering the other questions.
The students toured the monuments on the grounds of the State House and were tasked with documenting why the monuments were placed there and their importance to our state’s history. The students assembled in the balcony of the General Assembly and were introduced individually to the members of the State House of Representatives by Representative James H. Lucan, House Speaker Pro Tem. They were also greeted by our own Representative Lester Branham. Mrs. Amy Askins and Mrs. Gina Lamb accompanied the class and Coach Wall on their field trip.
