Happy Band Day on March Fourth! 🎶🥁🎺
Today we celebrate the talent, dedication, and heart of our incredible student musicians — especially The Pride of Clover Marching Band! Just weeks ago, they represented our community on a national stage at the iconic Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, marching with excellence and Blue Eagle pride for millions to see.
From early morning rehearsals to unforgettable performances, these students exemplify commitment, teamwork, and school spirit. Their appearance on New Year’s Day was more than a performance — it was a moment of pride for our entire district and community.
On this March Fourth, we celebrate the music that moves us, the leadership that guides us, and the students who continue to make us proud. 🎼💙

As Clover School District prepares to open three new schools this fall, we are proud to continue introducing the exceptional educators who will help launch Liberty Hill Elementary School.

Today, we recognize the dedicated 3rd and 4th grade teachers who guide students through some of the most formative academic years. These grades mark an important transition as students strengthen critical thinking skills, move from learning to read to reading to learn, and take greater ownership of their work. With clear expectations, steady encouragement, and a commitment to academic excellence, these teachers will help Patriots grow in confidence, character, and capability.

Please join us in congratulating these new Patriots as they prepare to welcome students and build a strong and lasting tradition at Liberty Hill Elementary this fall.

Two Oakridge Middle School seventh graders are headed to Washington, DC, to take part in the Scripps National Spelling Bee May 26-28.

Manha Shaik won first place in the Regional Spelling Bee at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday. Classmate Salonee Birabar finished second. The top two students represent the region at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Shaik and Birabar are no strangers to spelling bees. Shaik was the CSD Champion in 2023, 2025 and 2026. She was a top-five finisher in 2024. Birabar finished in the top five of the CSD Spelling Bee in both 2024 and 2026.

This is the first time two students from CSD have qualified for the National Bee. CSD had its first Regional winner in 2023 with Peyton Goldenstein of Clover Middle School. Peyton is now a senior at Clover High School. In 2024, Mallory Greene of Clover Middle School finished second in the Regional Bee and participated in the National Bee. Mallory is now a sophomore at Clover High School.

As seventh graders, both Shaik and Birabar still have one more year of spelling bee eligibility after this year.

The Clover High History Society brought the past to life this week with a student-centered, museum-style exhibit focused on the American Revolution. The special event marked America’s 250-year milestone and provided students with a meaningful opportunity to experience history beyond the pages of a textbook.

Representatives from the Culture & Heritage Museum, SC250, and the Catawba Cultural Center joined several living-history reenactors to share their expertise and artifacts. Among the highlights was a saber carried at the Battle of Kings Mountain, offering students a tangible connection to one of the most significant Revolutionary War battles fought in the Carolinas.

Through authentic artifacts, engaging presentations, and thoughtful discussion, the exhibit underscored York County’s important role in the fight for independence and reminded students that the legacy of 1776 continues to shape our nation today.

Later this year, Clover School District (CSD) will open its third middle school, Roosevelt Middle School.

Pictured here is the Roosevelt School, which closed in 1970 after graduating its last senior class.

CSD is currently collecting highlights in the history of the Roosevelt School for a display at the new Roosevelt Middle.

On Thursday, students at Larne Elementary School brought Black History Month to a meaningful close with a special program presented by Dorothy Guthrie, Co-founder and Curator of the African American Museum of History & Culture at Loray Mills in Gaston County. A proud Clover native and retired librarian and educator who served in Clover, Gaston County, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Ms. Guthrie brought history to life for students. Through carefully preserved artifacts, engaging stories, and heartfelt words of encouragement, she provided a tangible connection to the people and events that have shaped our local community and our nation.

The month’s celebration concluded with a spirited door decorating contest. A panel of student judges evaluated each classroom display based on creativity, student participation, historical accuracy, and overall presentation. Throughout the school, classrooms showcased thoughtful and well-researched tributes honoring influential Black leaders whose legacies continue to inspire future generations.

"In the home stretch!"

That's how CSD Chief Operations Officer Dr. Mark Hopkins characterized construction progress at Lake Wylie High School and Liberty Hill Elementary School.

At Lake Wylie High School, elevators are being installed, and the focus is on interior finishes--including Columbia blue and gold paint in the locker rooms. The sound system is installed and being tested, and landscaping will be coming with the warmer weather. Project managers are also looking at the timeline to begin delivering furniture to the new school.

At Liberty Hill Elementary, mechanical systems, like the HVAC, have been installed and are being tested. Walls are being primed, and roofing is going on the building.
