Summary
Trustees advanced the naming committee's recommendation to name the Early College High School conference room the 'Wilmot J. Frazier Conference Room'; the motion passed unanimously and trustees clarified the naming applies to the conference room, not the campus.
The Charleston County School District Board voted on Jan. 12 to advance to its Jan. 26 meeting the naming committee’s recommendation to name the Early College High School conference room the Wilmot J. Frazier Conference Room.
Trustee Bailey moved the item and Doctor Temple seconded. Miss Denny, representing the naming committee, said the recommendation honors Wilmot Frazier, a longtime African‑American educator with ties to local schools; the campus retains the existing Wilmot Frazier name and the naming under consideration is for the conference room at the Early College facility.
Trustees asked for clarification that the action applies only to the conference room and not to renaming the campus; district staff confirmed the naming is limited to the room and the campus name remains.
The motion to advance was carried by voice vote and will appear on the Jan. 26 consent agenda for formal consideration.
