FSK to Celebrate Naming of Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium
Francis Scott Key High School will hold a ceremony to
celebrate the naming of its gymnasium as the Louis V. Beard Memorial Gymnasium
on Friday, February 9, 2018. The ceremony will take place at halftime during
the girls varsity basketball game, which will begin at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Beard
served FSK as an administrator for over 20 years.
Mr. Beard began his professional career as a teacher at the
Robert Moton School in Westminster in 1955. Soon after beginning his teaching
career, he was drafted into the U.S. Army where he served from 1955-1957. He was honorably discharged and returned to
teaching at Robert Moton School and was advanced to principal, where he served
until 1965.
In 1965, Mr. Beard was assigned to Francis Scott Key High
School where he served as assistant principal for one year until he advanced to
principal in 1966. With this
appointment, he became the first African American to hold such a position in
Carroll County. He served as principal
of Francis Scott Key for the next 20 years, influencing the lives of countless
students and faculty in positive ways until his retirement in June 1986.
Mr. Beard leaves a legacy of dedicated service and
outstanding accomplishments as an educator, humanitarian, and civic
leader. During his tenure as principal
of FSK, Mr. Beard expanded the athletic program and added an auditorium,
football field, and gym. Among his many
accomplishments, he was the first African American honored by the Carroll
County Jaycees with the Distinguished Service Award. He served as past board member of numerous
county agencies and service organizations, including the Y.M.C.A, Department of
Social Services, Community Action Agency, Carroll County Hospital Board, and
the Bowling Brook Home for Boys.
