Clover School District (CSD) celebrated the ground breaking for Liberty Hill Elementary this morning. Liberty Hill Elementary is slated to open in August 2026. When completed, the school will accommodate 900 students in grades preK through fifth grade. Liberty Hill is co-located on the Cannonball Run site with Lake Wylie High School . Today's ceremony opened with the presentation of colors by the Clover High School Air Force Junior ROTC. Bethel Elementary first grader Cooper Burris led guests in the Pledge of Allegiance. A saxophone quartet from Clover High School performed the National Anthem. Chief Financial Officer Ken Love offered the invocation. Board of Trustees Chair Rob Wallace delivered the welcome. In her remarks, Superintendent Sheila Quinn recounted the historical significance of the school's site: "Liberty Hill Elementary will always be a history lesson. The land on which the school is being built started as a royal land grant to Colonel William “Billy” Hill in the 1700s. Col. Hill and Isaac Hayne operated Hill’s Iron Works here. Hill and Hayne used iron from the Nanny’s Mountain area to manufacture cannons, ammunition and swords which they sold to the patriots. A group calling themselves “Patriots of York County” met at the Iron Works in June 1780 and resolved to fight for independence, despite threats from the British. On June 18, 1780, the iron works was destroyed in an attack by the British. Seven people were killed, Hayne was captured and later released and Hill escaped to fight four weeks later in Brattonsville. Hill would later serve as a judge in York County and was the first state senator York County sent to the legislature," Quinn said. The ceremony concluded with past and present School Board members putting on their hard hats and picking up their shovels to break ground.

Clover School District (CSD) hosted its annual celebration of reading today with Battle of the Books. Battle of the Books is an academic competition that challenges students in grades 4-5 to read a set of assigned books and recall important details from them. Questions are asked in two formats--relay and family feud--about plots, characters, settings and other literary elements. Students compete in teams of four students, choosing creative team names and making T-shirts and posters. Family members filled the bleachers in the gym at the Academies of Clover to cheer on their favorite team. The top five teams were: 1. Griggs Road--Shooting Stars 2. Crowders Creek--Cheeto Pufz 3. Bethany--Cheeto Dusters 4. Griggs Road--Book Babes 5. Crowders Creek--Rolling Readers Shooting Stars team members are Roselee Wilson, Jensen Freeland, Emory Harris and DJ Rasmussen.

How does your garden grow? First graders at Crowders Creek Elementary took advantage of this beautiful spring day to participate in planting a class garden. Each class planted seeds in a raised bed. The students planted carrots, lettuce, radishes and snap peas. Students learned about all the necessary elements to nurture plant growth. Students will tend their gardens until the vegetables are ready to be harvested. Students will use the harvested vegetables to create their own salads.

Eighth graders at Clover Middle School (CMS) had a unique experience this week when they received a visit from Betabox Learning. Betabox is a STEM outreach program that hosts "onsite field trips." The purpose of the event is to spark student interest in tech-enabled careers through hands-on learning. Students at CMS had the opportunity to engage with both drones and robotic cars.

With mostly sunny spring weather in the area, construction projects across the district have continued to progress nicely. At Lake Wylie High School, work is underway on the Chorus and Drama rooms and the Auditorium. Curbing and asphalt are going down across the expansive campus. Roosevelt Middle School's arts wing is under roof now, so interior work is the focus as walls are being roughed in. An exterior access ramp is also being installed. At Liberty Hill Elementary, storm water and plumbing work is wrapping up as workers prepare to pour foundations. Monthly updates and photos of all projects are shared on our construction website, https://cloverschooldistrictsc.sites.thrillshare.com/o/csdc .

Last night's Board of Trustees meeting went high tech when Project Lead the Way and Robotics took center stage for the School Spotlight Report. Educators from Clover Middle and Oakridge Middle shared about the instructional progression in their technology courses before turning the presentation over to their students. The students on each school's Robotics team discussed building their respective robots to enter into competition and then demonstrated the robots' ability to pick up plastic rings and place them in a stack. The robots' movements can be controlled both by a coding program and a controller. The presentation ended with a look at the types of professional work students can do with these skills. Casey Roberts of Duke Energy introduced "Spot," a robot dog the company uses in situations where conditions may be unsafe for humans.
