Description
Charleston County School District recognizes more than 50 student-athletes from six schools in nine sports that signed a National Letter of Intent to play a sport at the college level. Since the district did not have an in-person ceremony this year, the Communications Office put together this video to celebrate the student-athletes from the Class of 2022.
A
Greetings,
I'm
andy
pruitt
and
I'm
the
director
of
communications
for
charleston
county
school
district
for
the
second
year
in
a
row
due
to
concerns
with
covet
19.
We
were
not
able
to
host
an
in-person
ceremony
to
recognize
the
district's
student-athletes,
who
signed
a
national
letter
of
intent
to
play
a
sport
at
the
college
level.
So
for
the
second
year

created
a

their
impressive
accomplishments,

their
athletic
careers

done.
