"Welcome Back to School"
During the Amazing Race Convocation each school & department represented their teams with confidence, tenacity, determination, & competitiveness! There were lots of laughs & great times!

Thank you to the special guest speakers, Mayor Bill Young, Chairman of the School Board Sharon Witkin, & Dewayne “Duke” Buckner.

"Back to School Message from Superintendent Jessica Williams"
Greetings Colleton County School District Families.
Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year! We are very excited to begin a new year full of new possibilities for our students to succeed academically. School begins on Monday, August 5, 2024 and we are looking forward to greeting each and every one of our students! All of our students are born for greatness and we want to cultivate that through sound instruction and engaging activities. In an effort to ensure our students are learning in a safe and positive school environment, the school district administration, in partnership with the Board of Trustees, has made the decision to implement a zero tolerance response to physical violence and the video/audio recording of physical violence among students at the secondary level. This will result in the immediate and potentially long-term removal of students from the learning environment for fighting, recording fights or other related disciplinary infractions.
Your anticipated support of this decision is greatly appreciated, as it is the goal of the Colleton County School District to maintain a safe and secure environment for all students, staff, and visitors.
We look forward to seeing all of our students on August 5, 2024! Thank you again and thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
Jessica F. Williams
Superintendent of CCSD
