Poetry is kind of a big ~dill~ at Philip Simmons High! To get students interested in reading poetry during #NationalPoetryMonth, PSH's school librarian, Constance McClanahan, challenges students to check out a book of poetry for a pickle. By the end of the month, Dr. McClanahan goes through jars of kosher dills!

WOW! Students in our Take the Lead mentoring program raised $6,000 in support of the Ronald McDonald House in downtown Charleston, which is TRIPLE the amount they donated last year. Kudos to all our mentees on this incredible achievement —especially those from Cane Bay High, who donated the most to this special cause.

Congratulations are in order for not one, but two of our athletic directors! During the South Carolina Athletic Administrators Association conference, Dan Minkin of Philip Simmons High was named 2A State Athletic Director of the Year and Region Athletic Director of the Year. Also, Berkeley High’s Brian Welch was awarded Region Athletic Director of the Year. Both of these ADs lead incredible athletic programs at their schools, and we couldn't be more proud of them for this achievement. Well deserved!
