Summary
Dorchester School District 2 recognized 1,769 high-school students for academic achievement, acknowledged a community donation tied to the Somerville Italian Feast, and announced Sand Hill Elementary’s National Blue Ribbon designation.
At its Nov. 11 meeting, Dorchester School District 2 highlighted academic and community achievements across the district, recognizing nearly 1,769 students from Ashley Ridge, Fort Dorchester and Summerville high schools with academic honors and presenting scholarship winners.
Miss Troy said the district "celebrated the achievement of 1,769 students" who earned an 88 or above average and described the medal and lettering recognitions assigned to honorees. She also introduced scholarship winners and asked the students to come forward for photographs with the board.
Ralph Hayes and representatives of the Somerville Italian Feast described their event and longstanding support for the district, including multi-year fundraising and recent activities such as a 5K Meatball Run. The Italian Feast group presented a donation to the district and the DD2 Education Foundation.
The board also announced that Sand Hill Elementary School was named a National Blue Ribbon school by the U.S. Department of Education — one of four South Carolina schools to receive the honor this year and the only public school in the county to do so. The board congratulated the school’s leadership and staff.
Courtney Howard, vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion at the College of Charleston, spoke about the college’s partnership with the district and reported application and enrollment figures from the district to the college. Board and district representatives thanked teachers and the district education foundation for their support.
