College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences alumn, Zach Lemhouse, received two
awards from the Daughters of Colonial Wars. He was recognized as the Outstanding American
History Teacher of the Year for the state of South Carolina and represented York School
District One and Winthrop University at an award luncheon in Columbia. By winning
the state award he was automatically put in the running for the National Award. He
competed against state winners from the 31 states in our country that have a chapter
of the Daughters of Colonial Wars. He received second place award at the National
level.
"I am truly blessed to be a Winthrop University Alumni. With out the training and
guidance I received at the Richard W. Riley College of Education, Sport, and Human
Sciences I never would have received these awards or have been named teacher of the
year for York Middle School. Thank You."
