The National Adult Honor Society began in 1991 by Lloyd Weaver, an

Adult Education educator. Mr. Weaver wanted to provide meaningful

recognition deserving adult students. The mission of the National Adult

Education Honor Society is to provide meaningful recognition to deserv-

ing adult education students, to improve student employment opportuni-

ties, to develop student ambassadors for local adult education programs

and to create adult education awareness with school administrators and

state legislators.

The mission of the National Adult Education Honor Society is to provide

meaningful recognition to deserving adult education students, to improve

student employment opportunities, to develop student ambassadors for

local adult education programs, and to create adult education awareness

with school administrators and state legislators.

To qualify for NAEHS membership, adult education students must

demonstrate dependable attendance; a cooperative attitude; and signifi-

cant work ethic. Adult Education teachers nominated and selected quali-

fied candidates from more than 1000 students currently earning a high

school equivalency certificate or high school diploma or learning English

as a Second Language.

This year, thirty Horry County Adult Education students were inducted

into the National Adult Education Honor Society during two induction

ceremonies on May 14 and May 16.

Each honoree committed to sharing with their communities what adult

education has meant to them and to encourage family and friends to take

advantage of local adult education program offerings. When inducted,

each honoree receives an NAEHS certificate and gold, black and white

lapel pin.

PROM

2019

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ~Benjamin Franklin

Horry County Schools Adult Education

has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of

all Horry County communities. One com-

munity reached out to us and asked for

our help!

Citizens in North Myrtle Beach contacted

us and told us about the need for ESL

classes in the community because of the

lack of transportation and the distance to

the Myrtle Beach and Conway locations.

What did we do? We partnered with

Ocean Drive Elementary to bring Adult

ESL classes to the North Myrtle Beach

area!

Classes started January 22 and continued

through the middle of May. We are served

32 ESL students! Classes were held on

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to

7:45 p.m.

A special thanks goes to Ms. Renea

Fowler, Principal at Ocean Drive

Elementary, for welcoming us into their

school so that we may help the adults in

the area.
