The inclement weather that has visited our area has not slowed down progress on the construction of our new schools.
That's because both Lake Wylie High School and Liberty Hill Elementary are substantially under roof and closed in. Work on both sites is now focused on things like mechanical systems, flooring and case work. You can even start to see a little of Lake Wylie's signature Columbia blue paint showing up on the walls.

Congratulations to these exceptional staff members who will help lead Lake Wylie High School into its first year! Today, we’re highlighting the Math Department—the problem-solvers who will lay the foundation for Charger success. From mastering the basics to tackling complex challenges, they’ll help students make it all add up—developing confidence, precision, and a strong foundation for Charger success from day one.
Members of the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association recently met with Roosevelt Middle School Principal Dr. Maurice Thomas, Director of Community Engagement Ginger Marr, and Public Information Officer Stephanie Knott to begin planning a historical display for the new Roosevelt Middle School. Set to open this fall, Roosevelt Middle proudly carries the name of the former Roosevelt High School, which served African American students in the community prior to desegregation. In the months ahead, the group will work together to thoughtfully preserve and showcase the school’s history, traditions, and enduring student spirit as an important part of the campus.

Congratulations to these faculty members who will be leading the charge at Lake Wylie High School next year. Today, we are shining the spotlight on the Science Department— mentors who are creating a new ENERGY at LWHS! With Charger pride at the core, they spark curiosity through hands-on learning, instill a passion for science, and emPOWER students to turn ideas into discoveries!
Students in Mrs. Shalyn Wehbie’s classes enjoyed the fruits of their labor Wednesday as they harvested leafy greens grown in their classroom hydroponics towers at the Center for Career Innovation. Joined by 12 members of the Lake Wylie Rotary Club, students harvested an impressive 109 pounds of fresh vegetables, which were used to assemble salad kits for donation to the Clover Area Assistance Center. Through the generous support of the Lake Wylie Rotary Club, students put technology to meaningful use, helping provide fresh, nutritious food to 68 local families.
Congratulations to these outstanding faculty members who will help launch Lake Wylie High School in its very first year! Today, we’re celebrating the World Languages Department—the global guides who will open doors to new cultures, new perspectives, and new possibilities. By helping students find their voices in more than one language, they’ll connect the Charger community to the wider world and add an international chapter to the growing Charger story.
We wrap up School Board Appreciation Month with a final thank you to our School Board members for their dedicated service to the Clover School District. Pictured here with Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn are from left to right: Keron Meeks, Board Secretary (Seat 2); Tracy Stiff, Legislative Liaison (At-Large Seat); Mike Ballard, Clover LEAF Liaison (Seat 1); Dr. Quinn; Rob Wallace, Board Chair (Seat 5); Jessica Cody, Board Vice Chair (Seat 3); Matt Burris, Legislative Liaison (At-Large Seat); and Kenda Cook, All on Board Liaison, (Seat 4).

A professional photographer, Monica graciously volunteered her time and talents to preserve this moment. We extend our sincere thanks to Monica for her time and efforts and to our Board for their continued dedication, steady leadership, and faithful service to the students, families, and staff of the Clover School District.
Clover School District will open on a two-hour delay, tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28. A black ice advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for our area tomorrow morning. While main roads are relatively clear at this time, we believe the delay will improve visibility where any icy patches are concerned for our parents, student drivers and bus drivers.
Start times for tomorrow will be as follows:
Elementary Schools–9:35 a.m.
Middle Schools–10:00 a.m.
High Schools–11:00 a.m.
We encourage all families to take necessary safety precautions when traveling to school tomorrow.

Congratulations to these outstanding individuals who will help lead Lake Wylie High School into an exciting new era! Today, we’re featuring the Social Studies Department—faculty who will truly be making history. From civics and culture to world events and local roots, they’ll help shape informed citizens while laying the groundwork for the Charger legacy. The past meets the future here, and it all starts in their classrooms.
While Clover School District (CSD) was spared the heavy ice and snow meteorologists had predicted, Winter Storm Fern blanketed our community with enough ice to make travel dangerous in some areas across our district.
CSD has been in communication with York County Emergency Management this morning, and while the sun is doing its job on the main roads, they are reporting that shaded secondary and neighborhood roads remain a challenge despite today’s thawing. Further, they report concerns for refreezing tonight as a result of extremely low temperatures. Tomorrow’s forecast does not show the temperature getting above freezing until after 1 p.m., and predicted overnight winds hold the potential for power outages. These conditions make any delayed school start for Tuesday unsafe.
CSD maintenance crews have been on our campuses all day to clear parking lots and sidewalks. Unfortunately, the process is proving too time-consuming for them to complete before the sun goes down this evening.
As a result of the forecast and the need for additional time to ensure our campuses are safe, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
As before, families will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day.
CSD realizes that eLearning is not an easy fix for these missed days of instruction, but we appreciate your patience as we strive to keep our students learning when inclement weather disrupts our normal operations.

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on the English Department—the storytellers who will help students write the very first chapter of the Charger legacy. With creativity, energy, and a love of words, they’re ready to bring the LWHS story to life and make history one sentence at a time.
Clover School District (CSD) has been in communication with York County Emergency Management throughout the weekend as Winter Storm Fern has approached our area.
The storm is bringing crippling amounts of ice and extremely cold temperatures to York County. The potential of ice accumulation is making road conditions dangerous for travel and has left many homes and schools without electricity.
Based on the information we have received, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Monday, January 26, 2026. All CSD buildings will be closed.
Families will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day. We thank our staff for the planning that has made this eLearning day possible by creating lessons that include paper-pencil work/packets, hard copies of books/texts, or downloaded videos/materials on the iPad that can be accessed without WiFi.
CSD will continue to monitor weather conditions and advise our staff and families if further adjustments to our schedule become necessary in the days ahead.
Stay safe and warm, CSD.

Carolina. These innovative institutions demonstrate the caliber of education available to families
statewide,” said Dr. Quincie Moore, SCASA Executive Director.

Like you, Clover School District is monitoring weather conditions as the winter storm approaches our area this weekend.
To keep our students and staff safe, we have already canceled all district events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
At this time, we have directed staff to prepare for the possibility of multiple days of E-Learning should conditions require the cancellation of in-person learning early next week. Because we are cognizant that power and internet outages are possible, we are advising staff members to create lessons that include paper-pencil work/packets, hard copies of books/texts, or downloaded videos/materials on the iPad that can be accessed without WiFi. Students should be reminded to take these materials home on Friday afternoon.
We are consulting with York County Emergency Management and neighboring school districts on impacts to York County. We realize that cancellations are a hardship for families, so we are holding off on making a final decision until the weekend when we can see exactly how much ice has accumulated in our area and how air temperatures are impacting its ability to melt.
We encourage our families to prepare for inclement weather and to monitor email, social media and local news outlets for updates on our operations.

For the sixth year, students in Chef Scott Michaw's Culinary Arts Class at the Center for Career Innovation (CCI) battled it out in Cake Wars.
This year, eight cakes were presented to nearly 20 judges, who evaluated the cakes in categories such as appearance, icing and crumb.
The students pulled out all the stops--chocolate ganache, lemon curd, blueberry jam, mousse and even ice cream.
Top honors went to the team of "Cookies and Dreams" comprised of Bailey Brown, Jordan Gantt, Kate Smith and Carlee Wallace.
There was a tie for second place between "Battle of the Greats," a cake with both white and dark chocolate frosting and a raspberry filling, and "Chicken Dinner," a two-layer Neapolitan cake.
