Berkeley High

🌟 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌟 Today our Berkeley High School English 3 Honors students, led by Dr. Jarrett and Ms. Clancy, participated in a special field study with the Wassamassaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians during their annual Education Day, held as part of their annual PowWow! Our students came to hear the oral storytellers (an absolute thrill! 🎤), but they left with so much more! Students experienced the richness of Native American culture through beadwork, traditional regalia, pottery-making, and basket weaving. They danced to the beat of the drums, fed the tacky marsh horses, and even enjoyed delicious Indian fry bread! 🥁🧺🐴 A heartfelt thank-you to Chief Lisa Collins and the Wassamassaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians for welcoming our students and sharing your culture, traditions, and stories with us. ❤️ Today, our students learned an important lesson: Native Americans aren't just part of our history in the Lowcountry—they are still here! What a meaningful opportunity to connect classroom learning with the living history and culture of our community.

🚨 🦌 STAG NATION, WE NEED YOU! 🦌 🚨 It’s time for ALL of Stag Nation to show up for one of our own! The South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association selects a Coach of the Week every week, and we need Berkeley Stags everywhere to submit a nomination for our Head Football Coach, ERIC LODGE! There is no one more deserving. Coach Lodge took over Berkeley Football in 2023 and has steadily built the Stags into one of the top programs in the State. Which is also a reflection of a tremendous staff!!! I mean how about that defense coordinated by Coach Cole Faulkner!?! Bringing in a dedicated strength and conditioning coach that is the best I've ever seen in Coach William Fly, who has a massive impact on EVERY SINGLE athlete at Berkeley High School! I could go on and on but this nomination is a recognition of the totality of the impact of the program on the entire School. 🏈 2023: 6-6 in his first season, including an undefeated home record and a playoff victory. 🏈 2024: Another GREAT season and another playoff performance and a season where we were able to practice on Thanksgiving which is the goal of every great program. 🏈 2025: The breakthrough. Berkeley finished 10-3, recorded its best season since 2018, and advanced all the way to the Lower State Championship Game for the first time in eight years! And now, the Stags are taking another step. 🔥 BERKELEY IS 4-0 IN 2026! 🔥 Berkeley has opened this season with victories of: 🦌 36-0 over Stratford 🦌 44-15 over Fort Dorchester 🦌 46-10 over St. James 🦌 29-3 over Summerville 😎 And that last one was SPECIAL. Last night, Coach Lodge and the Stags defeated rival Summerville 29-3, giving Berkeley its first victory over the Green Wave since 2019! Since Coach Lodge arrived the progress speaks for itself. But this is about more than wins and losses. Coach Lodge has built a program centered around culture, development, accountability, toughness, relationships, and pride in representing Berkeley High School. Now it’s our turn to show our appreciation. 📣 STAG NATION, LET’S FLOOD THE NOMINATIONS! Players. Parents. Alumni. Teachers. Coaches. Community members. Former Stags. Current Stags. If you love Berkeley, take a few minutes and nominate HEAD COACH ERIC LODGE for the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association Coach of the Week! 👇 SUBMIT YOUR NOMINATION HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMtjPNYCHauNq7vPOduIEwRps0IeFxq8Dg_uy9CGS7Si17BQ/viewform?usp=header Let’s make sure the entire state knows what we already know in Moncks Corner.
