Greetings CCMS families,
On April 2, the Global Career Development Department organized a visit for a group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to the South Carolina Ports Authority in Mount Pleasant. During this informative trip, students and chaperones gained valuable insights into the import and export business. They observed crane operators skillfully lifting containers off ships and loading them onto trucks.
It was particularly noteworthy that the South Carolina Ports rank as the 8th largest in the nation. Our guide, Ms. McCoy, provided extensive information about the various career opportunities available within the Ports Authority. The students were particularly impressed by the significant presence of women in diverse roles at the ports.
Additionally, they learned that many positions do not require higher education, and once employed, individuals have the opportunity to pursue further education with the assistance of the South Carolina Ports Authority.
Greetings, Colleton County School District Families.
The District is closely monitoring the potentially hazardous weather conditions expected late this afternoon & evening. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, all after school and extracurricular activities, including Athletics are cancelled. Additional updates will be communicated if weather conditions change.
