BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY [email protected]

SUMMERTON — Described as someone who is dedicated and pas- sionate to the school and its mission, Lindy Brunson recently retired from Clarendon Hall after 45 years of ser- vice. Brunson, a Summerton native, joined the faculty in the early years of the school as a business and math teacher. She has also taught account- ing and shorthand during the years. In 2014, Brunson was honored with the South Carolina Independent School Association’s Coadjutor of the Year Award. The award is given an- nually to an individual in an adminis- tration position in one of SCISA’s 126 schools. Clarendon Hall was founded as a private, nondenominational Christian school in Summerton in 1965. Brunson joined the school’s faculty in 1971, and was attracted to stay until the end of the 2015-2016 school year. Brunson, a graduate of the former Summerton High School and Win- throp University with a degree in ed- ucation, started her teaching career at Edmunds High School in Sumter. She made the decision to teach at Clarendon Hall after enrolling her children in the school.

The win was the second in as many nights for Sumter, which is 13-1 overall and (11-0 in League III, over 3-3 Cam- den. On Monday, the P-15s drubbed Camden 10-0 in eight innings.
