Congratulations to all of those who were honored during the Recognition portion of tonight's Board of Trustees Meeting.
We were pleased to salute two groups as recipients of the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) Champions for Public Education Award. These went to Rep. Brandon Guffey and the Less Than Three Foundation he created and to Olympia and Allen Caswell for creating community internships for our students.
We celebrated Courtney Wyatt of Clover High School. The CHS Jazz Band directed by Ms. Wyatt has been selected to perform as a featured ensemble at the 2027 South Carolina Music Educators Association Professional Development Conference in February.
We also honored Clover High School's National Merit Semifinalist Ansh Katare. We are so proud of you!
Congratulations to everyone!

Commas, periods, question marks, exclamation points and more—today, we’re celebrating the little marks that help our words make sense!
Punctuation may be small, but it makes a BIG difference. It helps us communicate clearly, express ourselves and make sure our message says exactly what we mean.
So today, let’s give a little extra love to the punctuation marks that keep our writing on point! 😉📝
Happy National Punctuation Day!

All students are eligible to participate in this free breakfast program. Families do not need to complete a free and reduced lunch application to receive free breakfast or submit payment for the meal. CSD staff members are currently working to modify the point-of-sale software in school cafeterias to make this adjustment and to increase their food supply to be prepared for larger participation.
Breakfast is an important meal to get students started on each day’s learning journey, so CSD is excited to be able to participate in this program. Chartwells, our school nutrition provider, works tirelessly to prepare breakfasts with a wide variety of choices for students–cinnamon rolls, cereal, biscuit sandwiches, yogurt, fresh fruit and juice. Families may view the breakfast menu online at https://clover.nutrislice.com/menu.

Senior Ansh Katare has been named one of 16,000 Semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship program. These academically talented high school students have an opportunity to continue in competition for about 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth approximately $24 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. About 95 percent of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
Senior Benjamin Deberry has been named one of 34,000 National Merit Commended Students who are recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although Commended Students do not continue in competition for scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who took the 2025 PSAT.
Congratulations to Ansh and Benjamin!

For full details, please visit www.marineband.marines.mil/Tour or visit www.clover.k12.sc.us/csda.

“We are incredibly excited to continue the tradition of our national concert tour,” Marine Band Director Lt. Col. Ryan Nowlin said. “Musicians of the band are more eager than ever to share their musical talents with audiences live, and in-person on this year's tour.”
Nowlin has programmed musical selections in the style of the band’s 17th Director John Philip Sousa, who initiated the concert tour tradition in 1891. Concertgoers can expect a mix of works including traditional band repertoire, Sousa marches, contemporary compositions, vocal and instrumental solos and a patriotic salute to the Armed Forces.
“We have tremendously appreciative patrons who come to Marine Band concerts for all types of different experiences, so our programs are designed to include a great variety of music that mirrors the wonderful diversity in our national musical heritage,” Nowlin said.
Since Sousa was first granted permission to tour the country by President Benjamin Harrison in 1891, “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band has delivered a White House experience from Washington, D.C., to the far-reaching corners of our nation, and these special concerts have been shared by generations of Americans. During the 30-day National Concert Tour, the Marine Band will perform 27 concerts in the following states: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
The Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Founded in 1798, the band has performed for every U.S. President since John Adams. Known as “The President’s Own” since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the Marine Band’s mission is to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

The broadcast will feature both live interviews and pre-recorded stories about various student groups, including Student Council, Student Ambassadors, Marching Band and Choraliers. CSD Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn and LWHS Principal Calub Courtwright also will share details of their experience opening the new school.
The live broadcast will precede the school's Dedication Ceremony, which will be held later that morning.

As the late great Mike Culp would say, “It’s a great day to be a Blue Eagle!”
Friday was certainly one of those days as the Clover Schools Alumni Association brought together generations of Clover graduates to celebrate Homecoming in a very special way—the ALL CLASS Reunion! Designed to raise funds for the Alumni Association’s scholarship fund for the District's graduating seniors, the event also served as a special celebration of Clover High School’s 50th anniversary on its current campus.
Reunion guests enjoyed delicious food served by CHS alumni, including Iron City BBQ (Jason Merritt ’97), Max’s Frigid Frog (Brandy and Chris Lee ’98), Rob Sherer’s Fish Fry (Rob Sherer ’72) and It’s Worth It (Lynsey Comalander ’16). DJ AM (Angela Mallen ’98) kept the vibe going throughout the evening with music spanning every decade.
Even with periods of inclement weather, alumni enjoyed catching up with old friends, sharing memories and making new ones before heading over to cheer on the Blue Eagles as they defeated rival York in South Carolina’s longest active rivalry game.
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, reconnect and show their Blue Eagle pride—and a special thank-you to the Clover Schools Alumni Association for bringing generations of Blue Eagles together for such a memorable night!
Once a Blue Eagle, always a Blue Eagle!



The Homecoming Court, representing members of the large senior class, looked beautiful as they took the field during the halftime festivities. Congratulations to this year’s Homecoming Queen, Gabriela Salinas, and runners-up Emileigh Montgomery and Maggie Deal!
What a way to continue a week filled with tradition, school spirit and Blue Eagle pride! Spirit Week concludes tonight with the annual Homecoming Dance. Have fun, Blue Eagles!

🇺🇸 Constitution Day | September 17 🇺🇸
Today, we celebrate Constitution Day, marking the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, and honoring the foundation of our nation’s government.
In our schools, today is an opportunity to help students understand the rights and responsibilities that come with being a citizen and the importance of the principles that guide our democracy.
We’re proud to help the next generation learn about the Constitution, engage in civic life and become informed, responsible citizens who can lead their world. 🇺🇸📚
#ConstitutionDay #September18 #CivicEducation #StudentVoice #LeadYourWorld

Legacy and tradition are taking center stage this week at Clover High School as Homecoming festivities fill the campus with Blue Eagle pride. Today the celebration continued with the annual Homecoming Parade, featuring the award-winning CHS Band, cheerleaders, dance team, Student Ambassadors, FCA, the Science Department and many more groups that make the Clover High School community so special.
Following the parade, students cast their votes for Homecoming Queen, carrying on a beloved tradition that has been part of the Blue Eagle Homecoming experience for generations.
Today was also “Colors” Day, and each class proudly represented its own color: seniors in gold, juniors in navy, sophomores in gray and freshmen in green.
During this year where CHS celebrates 50 years on its current campus, Spirit Week is an extra celebration of the people, pride and legacy that make Clover High School special.
Go Blue Eagles! Beat York!
