Under the leadership of Christie Johnson, Department Chair and Senior Instructor of Wofford’s Education Department, forty-eight of her students spent the semester studying the foundations of teaching and learning. Their culminating project brought them to Cannons.
Wofford students created their own lesson plans based on the book Because I Love Me, written by local author Cynthia Robinson. She opened the visit with a read-a-loud of her rhyming book. Afterward, Wofford students visited several classrooms to teach their hands-on, creative lessons promoting confidence.
They gifted each of those classrooms with a copy of the book.
Cannons Principal Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips and Mrs. Johnson, both proud Wofford College alumni, were excited to see this partnership in action.
We are grateful for this collaboration and the positive impact it had on our students!
This week, they learned how to play the steel drum from Artist-in-Residence Kimberly Roberts and memorized two songs! They also learned about the steel drum's Caribbean origins!🏝️
Way to go, Champions!
Mrs. Gilliam’s Clifdale Middle drama class brought careers to life through the school's first-ever Live Career Wax Museum! 🏛️
Students dressed in costumes representing their chosen professions and created presentations detailing the educational path, salary expectations, and top workplaces for their careers.
All Clifdale Middle students toured the museum during lunch and learned about a variety of career options.
Great job, Centurions!

We’re excited to share our 2026–27 proposed Academic Calendar.
This modified year-round schedule is designed to better support student success.
District Three Board policy requires board approval before an Academic Calendar is implemented. The calendar being shared has not yet been approved by the Board. The District Three Board of Trustees will review and vote on the proposed calendar at its Monday, November 17th meeting, therefore, the calendar is not official until the board votes to approve it.
Clifdale Middle's Veterans Day Program this morning featured outstanding performances by choral and band students, along with a powerful message of service from Mr. Erle Hill, Clifdale Middle math teacher and proud Navy veteran.
Veterans, thank you for your service, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms.
Over the weekend, Broome High School student Reilly McKellar placed 2nd in the 3A Cross Country State Qualifier and will advance to compete in the 3A State Championship Saturday morning in Aiken! 🏆
The boys cross country team also turned in a strong performance, finishing 9th overall on a challenging course - just one spot shy of qualifying for the state meet.
Congratulations to Reilly, and the entire team!

Thank you, veterans, for your service to our country!
All students participated. Some students wrote messages to veterans in the shape of an American Flag, others created patriotic art using their hand prints, and third-grade Panthers performed on stage.
We extend our deepest thank to all veterans for their service and sacrifice to our country.
Mrs. Painter, Math Teacher and Department Chair at Gettys D. Broome High School and our 2024-25 District Three Teacher of the Year, was selected as one of only eight educators from across South Carolina to participate in the Fall 2025 Strategies for Teacher Advancement and Renewal Seminar (STAR). The seminar was held at Seabrook Island on October 20-24, 2025.
STAR is a biannual reward and recognition program for outstanding South Carolina veteran teachers sponsored by the Foundation for Professional Development and Palmetto State Teachers Association. Participants spend the week participating in a book study, taking a tour of historic Charleston, and attending an outdoor session led by a Barrier Island Naturalist. Teachers have the opportunity to reconnect and reflect while collaborating with other educators.
More than 600 educators have participated in STAR Seminars since 1994. Palmetto State Teachers Association started the program to enhance the teachers’ commitment to the education profession and to provide them with opportunities for personal and professional growth. The five-day retreat is funded by private contributions through the Foundation for Professional Development.
Our varsity football team hosts Pendleton tonight at 7:30 pm in the first round of the State Playoffs. Admission is $10.00, and only South Carolina High School League passes will be accepted.
Let's go, Centurions!
