Daniel High School Announcements
Ben Match Honored as Student of the Week
Daniel High School is proud to announce that Ben Match has been chosen as the “Student of the Week” for May 29. Ben is a member of the Class of 2013 and will begin attending Clemson University in the fall. He plans to major in either Forestry or Fisheries and Wildlife Biology.
Ben just completed an outstanding senior project in which he created both maps and illustrative historical summaries of Issaqueena Lake and Forest near Clemson. Working with University officials, Ben had these printed onto metal signs for hanging in the public areas of the forest. While interviewing some local individuals with connections to the Issaqueena Forest, Ben also discovered some legal papers from 1936 documenting the sale of a parcel of this land to the government.
At Daniel, Ben has taken a variety of challenging classes to prepare himself for college. He has an exceptional work ethic and is highly thought of by his teachers. One teacher stated, “Ben is one of those kids who flies under the radar. He is a learner, not just content to acquire knowledge; Ben wants to learn the hows and whys of things.” He has been an active member of the Interact Club, the Beta Club, and the Environmental Club at D.W.D and he enjoys fishing and outdoor activities when out of school.

Daniel Arts Show a Big Success
Daniel High School's May Fine Arts Show was a huge success on Monday night. Over 500 excellent works of visual arts were on display and the attendees were entertained by performances by the Jazz Band, Chorus, and Strings Ensemble. A spaghetti dinner was served to raise funds to support the Fine Arts Department.
Thanks go out to all of those who assisted with the program, especially Michael Salina, David Pickelsimer, Nathan Whitworth, Lori Apperson, and Sarah Jordan for the tremendous effort that they put in to make this a possibility. The effort of all of the students, parents, and other volunteers who donated their time is also greatly appreciated.
