This year's Convocation included performances by the marching bands of both Clover High School (CHS) and Lake Wylie High School (LWHS). The LWHS marching band delivered the first public performance of the new school's fight song.
The event kicked off with a "Masked Singer" contest. Thanks to CHS Band Director Rick Langdale, CHS/LWHS Voice Instructor Brandi Icard and School Board Members Matt Burris and Keron Meeks for their singing talents.
The formal program featured the presentation of colors by the LWHS Air Force JROTC and the National Anthem by the CHS Saxophone Trio. National Spelling Bee contestants Salonee Birabar and Manha Shaik led the Pledge of Allegiance. Clover Middle School (CMS) sixth grader Riley Flores sang "God Bless America" in honor of our nation's 250th anniversary.
Rob Wallace, Chair of the CSD Board of Trustees, brought greetings, while Clover LEAF President Karen Farris encouraged staff to take part in the Foundation's activities throughout the year. CSD's 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year, Evonne Jenkins of Larne Elementary, celebrated the district's growth and enhanced ability to create "Excellence Squared."
Support Staff of the Year winners from each school were honored, along with Teachers of the Year. Dr. Ingrid Coke of the Academies of Clover was named the District Teacher of the Year. She will receive the keys to a new car from Fred Caldwell Chevrolet later this week.
Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn introduced the district's annual theme: "We Belong. We Support. We Succeed--Together."
The program closed with a performance of "Higher Love" by Blackmon Huckabee and the Clover School District Choraliers. Huckabee is a 2020 graduate of CHS and a former Choralier.
The announcement was made earlier today during the district’s annual Staff Convocation at the Clover School District Auditorium.
With 23 years of teaching experience, Dr. Coke brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the classroom at the Academies of Clover. She began her academic journey at the University of the West Indies, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics with a concentration in Electronics. She later completed a diploma in Teaching Science and Mathematics, launching a distinguished career in education. Committed to lifelong learning and professional growth, Dr. Coke earned a Master’s degree in Mathematics Education and achieved National Board Certification in Mathematics. She went on to complete a doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction, focusing on advancing teaching and learning through effective instructional design and leadership. Most recently, Dr. Coke earned a Post-Master’s Graduate Certificate in University and College Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Dr. Coke’s extensive experience, deep content knowledge, and commitment to educational excellence continue to make a meaningful impact on students and colleagues across the Clover School District.
