In the Ware Shoals School District 51, there’s one coveted seat up for grabs, which comes with a three-year term. Interested candidates must be registered voters in either Abbeville, Greenwood, or Laurens County, and they need to reside within District 51 boundaries. To throw your hat in the ring, head over to the Greenwood County Voter Registration and Elections Office at Suite 13, Park Plaza Building, located at 600 Monument St. in Greenwood. Don’t wait too long; the filing period closes at noon on March 3!
Over in Greenwood County School District 52, there are two seats up for election, also for three-year terms. Just like District 51, candidates need to live within these district boundaries and be registered voters in Greenwood County. This is a fantastic chance for locals to get involved and have a voice in our educational landscape.
As candidates prepare to file, let’s not forget about the weather! Expect continued chilly days with highs barely reaching 47°F and lows dipping down to around 24°F—so bundle up if you’re heading out!
At the same meeting, District Superintendent Dan Crockett introduced a fresh mission statement for Ware Shoals School District 51, focusing on community commitment and excellence. The goal is to inspire students to discover their unique talents and unlock their full potential. It’s a wonderful vision for all students in the district to thrive!
Adding to the positive announcements, the board approved the Evan Bridges Memorial Scholarship, which honors a former student. This scholarship is set to assist senior student athletes, offering a primary scholarship of up to $2,500. Such initiatives truly highlight the community’s dedication to supporting its youth.
On the infrastructure side, trustees have greenlit a request for architectural services to draw up design plans for updating district schools and enhancing the baseball stadium. Exciting times are ahead for our local facilities!
Starting in the fall, students will experience an updated program of studies in Ware Shoals High, aligning with statewide changes to the college- and career-ready mathematics sequence. The goal? To ensure that at least 75% of students perform at or above grade level by the year 2030. New credit requirements for the incoming ninth graders will also be implemented, requiring six credits for promotion to sophomore status. Moreover, the curriculum will include additional courses like marketing and a dual enrollment horticulture class—sounds like a fantastic opportunity for students to dive into new interests!
