As we celebrate impressive seasons by this year's Clover High School Varsity Girls and Boys Basketball Teams, we also pause to remember a historic achievement from our community’s past—the Roosevelt High School Boys Basketball Team’s 1970 South Carolina Class A State Championship. The Tigers defeated the Lower State Champion Matthew E. West High School to bring home the trophy and state title.
The Roosevelt "Mighty" Tigers earned their trip to the title game by defeating Mays High School in the District III Class A Championship, and then defeating Riverside High School from Pendleton, South Carolina, in the Upper State Tournament. According to details in the 1970 Roosevelt yearbook, the championship game was won with strong shooting led by Jackie Tate and William Dulin and outstanding defensive play by David McCollum, Clement Falls and Felix Watson. This remarkable victory marked a proud moment for Clover, and during Black History Month, we are honored to highlight one of the most accomplished teams our community has ever known.
This week, we proudly celebrate our public schools—the educators, staff, students, and families who work together every day to create strong schools and a stronger community. Thank you for supporting public education and the opportunities it provides for all.
Tickets: are $8.00, Cash Credit/Debit at the Door

CSD is currently collecting highlights in the history of the Roosevelt School for a display at the new Roosevelt Middle. During Black History Month, CSD will celebrate this legacy by sharing some of those highlights.
Today, we explore the various names, colors and symbols that were a part of the school’s history.
The school originally opened in 1923 as the “Clover Colored School.” That name changed to “McKnight School” in 1936 in honor of the
school’s principal, H. J. McKnight. The school’s name changed a final time in 1948 when it was renamed in honor of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The school’s colors were royal blue and gold, and the school’s mascot was the Tigers. The royal blue and gold colors and the Tiger mascot have both been adopted for the new Roosevelt Middle School.
Good luck to the #5 Clover High School Girls Basketball Team tonight as they take on #12 Spring Valley in the first round of the 5A Basketball Playoffs. Get your tickets and come out at 6:30 p.m. to cheer on your Blue Eagles.
The #6 Boys team will also be in action tomorrow night at home, taking on #11 Blythewood at 6:30 p.m.
Go Blue Eagles!
As part of our Winter Intersession, schools are not in session today. We encourage families to take time to learn about U.S. history, leadership, and the responsibilities of citizenship. 🇺🇸
All CSD Schools will be closed February 16–20 for Winter Intersession. We hope our students, staff, and families enjoy a restful and refreshing break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the intersession, ready for the remainder of the school year!
We’re grateful for our School Resource Officers who help keep our campuses safe while building positive relationships with students and staff. Through mentorship, guidance, and a commitment to service, our SROs play an important role in supporting a safe, welcoming learning environment. Thank you for all you do for our schools and community!
Even though Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, we’re still celebrating the kindness, friendship, and care that fill our schools every day. We hope our students, staff, and families enjoy a wonderful weekend filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments. ❤️
We’re proud to announce the launch of the Social Studies Department at the new Roosevelt Middle School!

Lily Brodbeck, a student in Dr. Kelly Clark’s Roaring Eagle class at Clover High School, recently had the opportunity to interview Irish musician Colm Keegan and concert organizer Gary McGinnis as they prepares for Keegan's upcoming visit to Clover. Their conversation highlighted the excitement surrounding “From Larne to Clover: A Celtic Celebration,” set for Saturday, February 28, at 7:00 p.m.
This special evening will feature the talented choral students of Clover Middle School and the Trombone Collective from the Clover High School band — a true celebration of tradition, music, and community.
Be sure to secure your tickets today! Every dollar raised supports fine arts programs across the Clover School District. Join us as we honor heritage, showcase student talent, and bring a touch of Ireland to Clover. 🍀🎶
Excitement continues to grow as Liberty Hill Elementary School prepares to open its doors, and strong foundations are already being laid for its parent community. A dedicated PTO has been established, and support is already strong.
In a meaningful show of unity, the Crowders Creek Elementary School PTO—one of Liberty Hill’s primary feeder schools—presented the new Liberty Hill PTO with a generous $20,000 contribution to help launch their efforts. This gift provides an outstanding start as plans take shape to support students, teachers, and families from day one.
Families whose students will be assigned to Liberty Hill Elementary are encouraged to follow the Liberty Hill Elementary School PTO social media accounts for updates and upcoming opportunities to get involved. Together, we are building something special from the very beginning.
