Help us congratulate Dr. Proctor at Midland Valley High School, who was recently named a Golden Apple Award winner by WJBF News Channel 6.
She was one of five Aiken County teachers to be surprised in their classrooms on Friday, August 14 by WJBF News Channel 6 and sponsor Kroger. Her segment will air on Tuesday, September 8 during the 5:30 PM broadcast.
Midland Valley is a place she has called home professionally for 33 years, and before as a student.
“This has been my life, my world. For all of my life. I love students. People say when they find out you're a high school teacher, the first thing they say is, ‘Oh, no, I can never do that.’ I just said to somebody yesterday, they don't realize that these guys are just people, like everybody else.” Dr. Proctor added. “They are the people who you can get to know, just like everybody else.”
“Dr. Ginger Proctor is proof that you can’t graduate from Midland Valley High School—you just get promoted to making it better!” Prinicpal Sheldon Higgenbottom shared. “A veteran math teacher who tackles everything from general math to AP, she somehow finds time to manage the yearbook, lead our busiest student organization Student Council, and still be the person everyone can count on. She is truly a Midland Valley High School legacy!”

Good morning, Midland Valley Families.
We were made aware of a threatening social media post made late yesterday by a Midland Valley High School student and have been working closely with local law enforcement to investigate.
We regret the worry this may have caused our students and families. Please be assured that the student responsible for the post was quickly identified. That student, and any others determined to be involved, will be held fully accountable for the concern their actions have caused.
Any and all statements that threaten the safety and security of our learning environments are taken seriously and investigated fully. To help ease any remaining concerns, there will be an additional law enforcement presence at the school bus stop referenced in the post this morning.
We look forward to a safe and regular day of teaching and learning at Midland Valley High School.
Mark your calendars!
Wednesday, August 19th will be the first early dismissal day of the 2026–27 school year!
Students will be dismissed early while our teachers and staff use the afternoon for professional development, collaboration, and additional training to support student success.
Get a glimpse into what professional development looks like for our staff here at Aiken County by watching the video on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/RJ6SEXp8wUk .
