Piedmont Community Charter students earn regional music honors; school nominated in five Best of Gaston categories
Summary
The board celebrated student achievements — including John Phillips' selection as first chair and an upcoming All‑State audition — and noted Piedmont's nominations in five Best of Gaston categories. Elementary fourth graders raised $1,827 for a local charity through a wax museum fundraiser.
The Piedmont Community Charter board used part of its Feb. 11 meeting to recognize student accomplishments and school nominations.
Speaker 2 announced that Piedmont had been nominated in five categories for this year’s Best of Gaston awards, including best charter school, best employer and best place to work, and said the school would share a voting link when voting opens.
Speaker 2 highlighted several student musical accomplishments: Emily Smith (clarinet), Lucas Holland (tuba) and John Phillips (clarinet). "John Phillips was selected first chair and will audition for All State in March," Speaker 2 said. The high school had three students qualify for the South Central All District Van Clinic, according to the transcript.
Speaker 2 also described an elementary fourth‑grade wax museum program in which students researched historical figures and families could donate to support presentations; the fourth grade raised $1,827 "for the least of these Carolinas," according to the transcript. Board members acknowledged the achievements and thanked staff for the work.
No formal action was recorded for awards and recognitions; the remarks were presented as part of routine board updates.
