Their session, titled From Random Acts to Real Results: A District’s Blueprint for Scaling Student-Centered Learning and Igniting Systemic Transformation, provided participants with a structured approach to implementing and scaling personalized learning.
Their work reflects a strong commitment to building systems that empower both educators and students through intentional, student-centered design and continuous improvement.

Today, we look back on how the Lake Wylie High School construction site looked last October when things were just getting started and how the building looks today.
We can't wait to open the doors in August to welcome the very first Chargers!

A grateful Clover community extended its appreciation to veterans and first responders at the third annual Heroes Luncheon held earlier today.
Co-hosted by the Clover Rotary Club and the Clover High School (CHS) Interact Club, the event honors those who serve or have served.
CHS students provided support to the event in multiple ways. Members of the Interact Club acted as greeters and servers for the veterans and first responders. The meal was prepared by students in the Culinary Arts program at the Center for Career Innovation (CCI). The colors were presented by members of Clover High's Air Force JROTC program. The National Anthem was performed by the Choraliers.
Lieutenant General Michael Tucker served as the keynote speaker. Tucker shared several stories of local figures who demonstrated extraordinary bravery and sacrifice in service to their country. He closed his remarks by reminding the audience that 1.3 million U.S. soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation and that to live free is a privilege paid for by previous generations.

The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) today released State Report Cards for schools.
The report cards, which compile school and district performance on a number of assessments previously released by SCDE, compare student performance against a series of benchmarks and provide ratings in various categories, including Academic Achievement, Preparing for Success, English Learners’ Progress, Graduation Rate and College and Career Readiness.
Four schools maintained the same rating they had in 2024. Those schools are Bethel Elementary (Good), Griggs Road Elementary (Excellent), Oakridge Elementary (Excellent) and Oakridge Middle School (Good).
Three schools saw improvement this year. Crowders Creek Elementary and Larne Elementary moved from Good to Excellent, while Clover MIddle School moved from Average to Good.
Two elementary schools slipped slightly from Good to Average in the ratings. They are Bethany Elementary and Kinard Elementary.
Clover High School earned an Excellent rating by continuing to demonstrate strong performance in the Graduation Rate, High School Student Success and College and Career Readiness categories.
Several schools are marked as “Not Rated” in the Multilingual Learners’ Progress category. These are schools that do not have a large enough Multilingual Learner population to generate a performance rating without compromising the confidentiality of individual students.
“Clover School District continues to be a leader in academic achievement in South Carolina,” said Clover School District Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn. “Our schools’ performance can be attributed to the talented students, hardworking staff and committed community that combine to achieve our promise of ‘Each child, Each day…Excellence.’”
