We thank the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce (SC DEW) for becoming our partner. The SC DEW has offered Canva training to staff and sponsored many student events.
Last April 4, 2025, SC DEW sponsored our multilingual (ML) students' field trip to the Columbia International Festival Global Education Day. The field trip was a way to celebrate our ML students for passing a state-level English Fluency test. It was also an opportunity to apply their English skills to interact with over 100 nationalities represented in South Carolina.


April is designated as the Month of the Military Child. Our district is excited to celebrate, for the first time, the sacrifices and resilience of military children who experience unique challenges such as parental deployment and frequent relocations.
We encourage our community to show appreciation for the adaptability and strength of military children by wearing purple on April 30, 2025.


We celebrate the Laurens Raiders Clay Crushers Team!
These students exhibit teamwork, focus, and discipline.
