CSD is saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., a Greenville, South Carolina, native and towering figure in American history. His lifelong work as a civil rights activist, minister, and public servant helped shape the nation. A protégé of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he rose to prominence as one of the most influential leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, continuing the fight for justice and equality for decades after Dr. King’s death. Jackson was also a presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988, winning the South Carolina primary during his first campaign. He bore witness to many defining moments of the civil rights movement, and his passing is especially poignant as it comes during Black History Month. Our community remains grateful for his enduring legacy and the path he helped pave for future generations.

Later this year, Clover School District (CSD) will open its third middle school, Roosevelt Middle School. Roosevelt Middle’s name pays homage to the former Roosevelt School that served Clover’s African American community from 1923-1970.
CSD is currently collecting highlights in the history of the Roosevelt School for a display at the new Roosevelt Middle. During Black History Month, CSD will celebrate this legacy by sharing some of those highlights.
Today, we explore the various names, colors and symbols that were a part of the school’s history.
The school originally opened in 1923 as the “Clover Colored School.” That name changed to “McKnight School” in 1936 in honor of the
school’s principal, H. J. McKnight. The school’s name changed a final time in 1948 when it was renamed in honor of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The school’s colors were royal blue and gold, and the school’s mascot was the Tigers. The royal blue and gold colors and the Tiger mascot have both been adopted for the new Roosevelt Middle School.

Excitement continues to grow as Liberty Hill Elementary School prepares to open its doors, and strong foundations are already being laid for its parent community. A dedicated PTO has been established, and support is already strong.
In a meaningful show of unity, the Crowders Creek Elementary School PTO—one of Liberty Hill’s primary feeder schools—presented the new Liberty Hill PTO with a generous $20,000 contribution to help launch their efforts. This gift provides an outstanding start as plans take shape to support students, teachers, and families from day one.
Families whose students will be assigned to Liberty Hill Elementary are encouraged to follow the Liberty Hill Elementary School PTO social media accounts for updates and upcoming opportunities to get involved. Together, we are building something special from the very beginning.
Teams of readers from Clover Middle School and Oakridge Middle School took part in the district's first-ever Middle School Battle of the Books earlier today.
The event was created at student request. Middle school students who had competed at the elementary school level wanted the opportunity to do the same in middle school, and English Language Arts Specialist Jennifer Dundr obliged.
Teams of students from the two middle schools prepared for the event since August, reading 10 books so they could answer questions about each one.
After five rounds of competition, including a perfect round four in which neither team missed a question, Oakridge Middle School came out on top. Students on the team received medals for their accomplishment, and the school will host a traveling trophy until next year's Battle.
Members of the Oakridge Middle School team are Leah Ho, Lucca R. Becker, Lachlan Curran, Liam Duffany, Lilly Harrill, Sawyer Culp, Michaela Neely and Miah Vazquez. The Oakridge team was coached by Media Specialist Renee Inman.
Members of the Clover Middle School team are Shonna Altizer, Adrianna Blackmon, Evangeline Castillo, Daysia Dula, Hannah Foellmer, Addison Hafford, Davis Joy, Beau Meador, Mila Schumacher and Juliet Shearer. The Clover team was coached by Media Specialist Deanna Pauley.

Congratulations to the Clover High School Trombone Collective. The Clover Trombone Collective recently performed as one of the featured small ensembles at the 2026 South Carolina Music Educator’s Professional Development Conference. This ensemble is under the direction of Mr. Aaron Milner, who currently serves CSD as one of the three middle school directors and assists with CHS after school.
The ensemble is made up of nine students in grades 10-12: Aidan Cahill, Hayden Fortner, Desmond Lancaster, Ethan Norris, Coby Watson, CJ Efird, Jacob Swyt, Zion Price and Josiah Kee.
Mr. Milner is in his second year with Clover School District, but he is no stranger to Blue Eagle Nation being a 2017 graduate of Clover High School. During his time at CHS he was the Band Captain of the Clover Band as well as center and captain of the Basketball team! After flying high at Clover, he left Blue Eagle Nation to become a Winthrop Eagle where he earned his Bachelor's of Music Education. He taught three years in Spartanburg School District Six as the Band Director at Fairforest Middle School prior to coming back home to the town with LOVE in the middle.
Mr. Milner said, “It has always been my dream to come back home and teach students from where I grew up, walk the halls where I attended, and cultivate the best ambassadors of the best town ."
Ms. Courtney E. Wyatt, who serves as Associate Director of Bands at Clover High School and CHS class of 2010, said,“Teaching students like Aaron Milner is a joy because each day he came in, worked hard, and encouraged his peers to work harder. His drive and contagious personality I remember from him as a student, is even more evident in him as a teacher. It is truly a joy to have him, one of my former students, to be back in Blue Eagle Nation.”
The Future is Bright for Clover Bands!

Today, we revisit the school’s founding in 1923. Clover Colored School was established in Clover behind the current First United Methodist Church. Mr. Eliot Caldwell served as first principal. Clover Colored School was supported by the Rosenwald Fund–a project sponsored by Sears, Roebuck and Company founder Julius Rosenwald to open schools for African American students across the South. The Rosenwald Fund contributed $1,500, the local community raised $400 and $6,500 in public funds rounded out the total cost of construction. The school had six teachers.
