Berkeley County School District

Demolition has begun! Goose Creek High's 300 wing started the demolition process last week. In its place, a new two-story facility is being built, which will provide nearly 41,000 square feet of instructional space to GCH! #MakingAPositiveDifference #PennyProject #SchoolRenovation #PublicEducation #BerkeleyCountySC

The Pelicans are all smiles to be back at Westview Primary! During student drop-off yesterday, Deputy Superintendent Karen Whitley, BCSD Cabinet members, and board members Kathy Littleton and Angelina Davenport greeted students on their way into WVP. #makingapositivedifference #publiceducation

In a crisis situation, preparedness is key. Prior to the start of school, our Office of Safety and Emergency Management held drills for school staff and our SROs to be ready in an emergency situation. As always, thank you to our law enforcement partners for participating in these drills and helping us ensure student and staff safety. School safety is always our top priority. #makingapositivedifference #schoolsafety #publiceducation #publicsafety

Berkeley Elementary is busy growing young minds! During its Kick-Off to Kindergarten event, incoming BES kindergarteners were encouraged to plant a flower in the school garden. Upon arrival back at school, the Little Stags have loved seeing how much their flowers have grown! 🪷 #makingapositivedifference #publiceducation

Everybody gets excited for back to school, including the teachers!
