Board honors late Teresa Portwood, names Clinton High girls softball field in her memory
Summary
The Anderson County Board of Education adopted two resolutions honoring longtime board member Teresa Portwood and approved naming the Clinton High School girls softball field the "Teresa Portwood Softball Field." The board presented a bronze plaque to the family and approved signage.
The Anderson County Board of Education adopted two resolutions on June 11 honoring the life and service of the late Teresa Portwood, who served on the board from Sept. 1, 2014, through March 2026. The board also approved naming the Clinton High School girls softball field the "Teresa Portwood Softball Field" and ordered appropriate signage and a bronze plaque to be presented to her family.
A board member read a resolution recounting Portwood’s tenure, describing her as a "tireless educator and advocate for academic excellence, student well-being and community engagement." The resolution states that Portwood "demonstrated exceptional leadership" and recognizes her sponsorship and support of Clinton High School athletics.
After the reading, the board moved and seconded the resolution and voted to adopt it. The board also resolved that a copy of the resolution be entered into the official minutes and that a suitable copy be presented to Portwood’s family as a token of condolences.
What happens next: the district will arrange installation of signage at Clinton High School and prepare a bronze memorial plaque for the family, as directed by the resolution.
