Berkeley County School District

Berkeley County School District This is the official page of Berkeley County School District in South Carolina. At Berkeley County School District, our students are more than data points.

Our teachers are encouraged to personalize learning and innovate in the classroom as they prepare our children for their life after school. We are unleashing the power and potential of education. Our vision is to create a future where we dare to imagine -- and make a positive difference. While we understand the role of standardized testing, such mandated tests will not be the only way children in

Berkeley County are measured. With innovative learning practices, our children are soaring in the classroom and benefiting from new opportunities offered through the Arts, STEAM, multiage classrooms and competency-based grading. Berkeley County School District is breaking out of the traditional mold. ALL SCHOOLS have dedicated and innovative coaches, specialists and coordinators working hand-in-hand with teachers in classrooms, and 20 percent of our students are served by the gifted and talented education program. While we don’t want to dwell on test scores – it should be known that our students score higher than the state average in science, social studies, biology, reading, writing, algebra and English. In addition to classroom innovation, we believe every student in our school district having a chromebook plays a role in the success of our students. At Berkeley County School District we aren’t teaching to the test. We are preparing our students with valuable work and life skills. Every day our students are challenged in ways to help them learn what they need to be successful. From adaptability and critical thinking to resilience and collaboration -- our students are getting what they need for college, the work force, the military or whatever finds them after graduation.

Hanahan Elementary students were dressed to the nines for their Tuxedo & Fancy Dress Challenge Celebration! As a reward for taking SC Ready test preparation seriously, being on time for school on testing days and receiving no negative referrals, select third graders got to attend a dance and pizza party during lunchtime at HES. At the end of the celebration, students were also gifted one of the hottest toys in town: NeeDoh!

James Cser is a true unsung hero at Stratford High. Every day he arrives just before 5 a.m. to complete his morning tasks and welcome staff to school. Students can normally spot James cruising around campus on his gator, which needed some serious TLC. So while James was on vacation last week, SHS auto tech students and school administration sprang into action to surprise James with his dream ride!
