We would like to thank these amazing seniors for their time and commitment to basketball over many, many years on The Hill.

TSA Celebrates Black History Month Submitted by Trever Miller
Thomas Sumter Academy championed diversity, personal history, and inclusion during its
annual Black History Month celebration. This year’s events were led by history teacher and
coach, Mr. Paul Greer. Using the principles of Science Technology Engineering Art and Math
(STEAM), Mr. Greer devised multifaceted curriculum that honored African Americans.
Students focused on African American history, literature, poetry, art, and scientific achievement.
Specifically, students conducted research projects, wrote biographical essays, read speeches and
sermons, analyzed poetry, and built story boards. Each of these elements were seamlessly
merged to showcase the rich contributions made to American society. The celebration was
capped off with guest speaker, Reverend (A.M.E Church) James Cabbagestalk, who spoke about
life, culture, and faith during the Jim Crow Era and the Civil Rights Movement.
This is just one way to showcase how the TSA family continues to promote strong character,
conscientious citizens, and loving Christians.
