Charleston County School District, SC / CCSD Partnerships

Burlington Stores, the national discount retailer, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new store in the St. Andrew’s Shopping Center in West Ashley. As part of the celebration, Stono Park Elementary School received a $5,000 donation from Burlington as part of their partnership with the national non-profit organization AdoptAClassroom.org, which will go to the school’s teachers for classroom supplies.

Stono Park's principal, Kimberly Richards, staff from the school, Charleston County School District’s (CCSD) Board of Trustees Chair, Rev. Dr. Eric Mack, Constituent District 10 Board Chair Rodney Lewis, City of Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg, Charleston City Councilman Ross Appel, and CCSD representatives are all participated in the ceremony.

Four Charleston County School District (CCSD) students participated in a “signing day” to celebrate their commitment to work in the district when they graduate college in the near future.

These four students, Lillian Avery, Aaron Booth, Ivy Grinnage, and Tina Robinson, are all graduating seniors from Early College High School, and part of the CCSD’s Teach Local program, which provides high school students with training to become an educator and support to attend a college and earn a degree in education.

The Laing Alumni Association hosted a historical marker unveiling today, January 29, 2020 at the former site of Laing Middle School. The property was sold to HomeDepot and the school relocated to the shared Sweetgrass Basket Campus. Laing has a storied history and as part of the demolition of the old school, Home Depot representatives promised to memorialize the school's history by preserving and implementing architectural and landscape elements of the old school into the new store and surrounding area.
