Athletic trainers play a vital role in our schools — from preventing injuries and providing immediate care at games and practices to developing rehabilitation plans and supporting long-term recovery. Their expertise ensures our student-athletes can perform at their best while prioritizing safety and wellness.
We are grateful for the professionalism, dedication, and compassion our athletic trainers show every single day. Thank you for being an essential part of our athletic programs and for caring for our students both on and off the field. 💙

Today, we recognize the dedicated 5th grade and special area teachers who will play an important role in shaping the well-rounded experience of Liberty Hill’s first Patriots. Fifth grade marks a significant milestone as students prepare for the transition to middle school—strengthening leadership skills, deepening academic knowledge, and growing in independence. At the same time, special area classes and activities such as the library/media center and music enrich the school experience by encouraging creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for learning and the arts.
Through their expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to students, these educators will help create a vibrant school culture and ensure that Liberty Hill Elementary begins its journey with strong traditions and meaningful opportunities for every child. Please join us in congratulating these new Patriots as they prepare to welcome students and build a proud legacy at Liberty Hill Elementary this fall.

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. 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. If you have memories, photographs, or memorabilia from the Roosevelt School you would be willing to share, please contact the Office of Communications and Community Engagement at (803) 810-8083.
