Taylor Brazell, a student at Spring Valley High School, is congratulated by South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers for completing the 2009 Commissioner's School for Agriculture at Clemson University. The week- long program ran from July 18- 24, and the 33 students who participated in this year's program, spent the week in hands- on scientific exploration along with workshops related to academic integrity, teamwork, personal growth, and leadership. The students also chose academic tracks related to their interests.
