Four Pee Dee schools will be among 49 Palmetto Gold and Palmetto Silver schools sharing their success stories with others through the state Department of Education’s 2007 Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards Showcase.
Jefferson Elementary School in Chesterfield County School District, West Hartsville Elementary School in Darlington County School District, Lake View Elementary in Dillon School District 1 and Hemingway Vocational Center in Williamsburg County School District will be a part of the showcase.
The summaries — along with other school information including poverty levels, enrollment and demographic characteristics — are posted on the showcase section of the state Department of Education’s Web site, http://ed.sc.gov.
As part of the showcase project, three top-scoring schools will be featured on In Our Schools, a production of the education department’s instructional television office and ETV. The program airs statewide on Sept. 21, from 6 to 7 p.m. and repeats on Sept. 25 and 29 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Channel 1 for schools.
Lake View High School in Dillon School District 1, a Palmetto Gold award winner, will be one of three schools featured. The program shows how schools involve their entire school community in academic achievement and how they provide ways for all students to achieve success.
