Porter-Gaud Dedicates the New "Freedom Flagpole" to Honor Veterans (VIDEO)
Porter-Gaud recently dedicated the new "Freedom Flagpole" at Singleton Field to honor the members of the Porter-Gaud Family who have served, are serving, or will serve in the United States Armed Forces. The project was a group effort between the Porter-Gaud Fathers Association, The Porter-Gaud Alumni Association, the Porter Military Academy Alumni Association, and Porter-Gaud School. The service was officiated by Chaplain Brian McGreevy, and Head of School DuBose Egleston, Director of Facilities Al Trivette, USAF (ret.), and Military Chaplain CAPT David Butler offered remarks about the importance of honoring the Veterans. The service was a wonderful reminder of the sacrifices our veterans make to protect the many freedoms we enjoy. A video of the event has been provided below for those who were unable to attend.

The Porter-Gaud Middle School has been working hard all year to gather bicycle donations in a partnership with Bicycles for Humanity Charleston. These bicycles will be shipped to Namibia Africa on May 28th. The bicycles will go to people living in poverty who don’t have access to fresh water, food, healthcare and education because of the long distances they must walk to reach these resources. These bicycles will change their lives!

We are in our final days of this endeavor and are looking for your BIKES! Do you have an old, rusty, used, broken down bike? ……Do you know of someone who does?...We will take them off of your hands. You can bring them to Porter-Gaud or the Middle School will come get them. This is an amazing accomplishment for the middle school students and we need your help to gather the last few bikes necessary to reach our goal of 200. For more information, or to have your bike picked up, please contact Chris Tate at chris.tate@portergaud.edu.

Porter Military Academy 1953 graduate and former faculty member, Mr. Hillyer Rudisill, took the time today to share his collection of recorders with the 4th graders. He played several pieces for the students and showed them photographs of what classrooms looked like when he attended Porter Military Academy. We are so fortunate to have alumni like Mr. Rudisill who share their talents along with a little bit of history of the School.
