Congratulations, Mrs. Melanie Painter!
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.
