    Thank you to those who came out for our College and Career Readiness Family Night! Ms. Weaks reviewed the 21st Century skills that students are learning and how now is the time to start talking to your kids about the goal of going to a college or university after high school.

    A big thanks to Paul from Coastal Carolina University and Victoria from Horry-Georgetown Technical College for explaining what they are looking for from applicants.
