Additionally, students learned connect construction, pole setting, extraction, overhead transformer installation, switching, and other valuable hands-on experience. Students in the program work in both classroom and field lab settings to learn theory and application hands on training. Two Clover students placed in the following events:
Johnathon Love: 1st place, Hurt Man Rescue

CSD is sending good vibes to Abigail Thompson, Ryan Jones and Connor Malloy today as they travel to Jefferson State Community College in Hoover, Alabama, to represent the state of South Carolina in the Southeast Regional Junior Chef competition.
Earlier this year, these students competed at University of South Carolina in the SC Jr. Chef competition and won it. They had to create a dish that could be served in a school cafeteria following all the nutritional guidelines mandated by the USDA and the Healthy, Hungry-Free Kids Act.

A classroom project turned into a memorable real-world experience today at Larne Elementary School!
Students in Mrs. Heintz’s fifth grade class recently took part in a “March Madness” research project tied to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, building their research, writing, and presentation skills. Westin Newendyke selected Queens University of Charlotte—and his letter to the university’s president made its way to the Royals’ basketball team.
In response, Head Coach Grant Leonard and members of the team visited the class with their team mascot, Buddy, and brought the project to life with a special experience for students. The team surprised the class with t-shirts, signed autographs, and spent time connecting with students about their journey to college basketball. They shared advice on how hard work and dreaming big can pay off. Queens made history this year by appearing in the "Big Dance" for the first time and in its first year of eligibility as a DI program.
A great reminder of how meaningful learning experiences—and a thoughtful letter—can create lasting memories!
Dr. Sheila Quinn and members of the Clover Schools Alumni Association enjoyed a special visit Monday afternoon with representatives from the Clover High School Class of 1970, who presented a generous contribution to the Association’s scholarship fund. A heartfelt thank you to Van Hilderbrand, Becky Pursley Brown, and Nancy McElroy for delivering this meaningful gift, made possible through their recent class reunion.
The Class of 1970 continues to lead by example in alumni giving. Hilderbrand and classmate Lynn Edmunds Campbell, for example, have each established named scholarships that honor their families while supporting future graduates. Their generosity—and that of Clover alumni across the years—will make a lasting difference for deserving CHS seniors.
Now, the Class of 1970 is extending a challenge to fellow Blue Eagle classes: consider making scholarship support part of your reunion tradition and help carry this proud legacy forward.

Congratulations to Clover High School for kicking off the district's "Meet Your New School" events last night!
As a reminder, each school in the district is hosting a special event this spring as a follow up to student reassignment. This event gives families an opportunity to meet staff members and learn more about the school where their students are assigned for the 2026-2027 school year. You can view the full schedule of "Meet Your New School" nights at https://tinyurl.com/yc4jun8t.
Clover High School (CHS) used their special night as a kick-off to their celebration of 50 years at their current location on Highway 55 and the school's rich legacy in our community.
Families were greeted by members of the dance team before walking through a balloon display into an extracurricular fair that filled the commons area. Families could learn more about athletics, the chess club and even the fire combat team. There are so many opportunities!
In the library, the school hosted an academic fair. Families could learn more about all of the academic courses students could take from the talented teachers who deliver that instruction every day.
Just outside the library was a photo booth where students could celebrate their Blue Eagle pride.
In honor of that 50th anniversary, CHS hosted a Legacy Corner. Legacy Corner included old yearbooks and images of the school building's evolution during that 50-year time period.
Congratulations on a great night, CHS!

The Inter-District Preschool Science Competition was a student-led initiative organized by the Clover High School (CHS) Science National Honor Society as part of its community service efforts to give back to the community.
The event aimed to assess and develop preschool students’ scientific inquiry skills.
High school students visited preschool classrooms at both CHS and Bethany Elementary over two separate weeks, conducting activities such as Oobleck exploration and water density experiments. These sessions introduced key concepts including prediction, data collection, and analysis through writing and drawing.
For the culminating activity, preschool students, with support from their teacher, designed and built bridges while applying these same scientific practices—making predictions, recording the number of trials, and analyzing outcomes. Each bridge was then tested using weights, and rankings were determined based on the maximum weight each bridge could support.
The winning teams were:
1st Place Winners with 5900 grams of weight
Adalynn Manuey
Ronin Sayanama
Charlee Neal
Harlee Bell
2nd Place Winners with 5600 grams of weight
Henson Wood
Chandler Overbeek
Cameron Dool
3rd Place Winners with 5000 grams of weight
Aria Wells
Paiton Wofford
Avery Vitaris
Walker Ford

Center for Career Innovation (CCI) students continue to demonstrate industry-level skill and precision on a competitive stage.
Four CCI students who participate in York Tech's Welding program recently competed in a national Welding Fabrication contest.
Grace Hudnall earned a Gold Medal in Welding Fabrication, showcasing the highest level of technical mastery, teamwork, and problem-solving under pressure.
Tanner Sutton secured a Bronze Medal, while Tyler Fan and Luke Coombes placed 4th overall, competing against top students from across the state.
Welding Fabrication is one of the most demanding competitions, requiring students to read complex blueprints, fabricate structural components, and execute precise welds to industry standards. These results are not just awards—they represent job-ready skills, real-world experience, and the ability to perform at a professional level.
This level of achievement reflects the strength of York Tech’s hands-on training model, where students don’t just learn the trade—they prove they can deliver at the highest level.
