PALMETTO CIVICS PROJECT AN INITIATIVE OF THE SC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Families are invited to participate in Summer SC 250 activities as South Carolina prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and our state’s important role in our nation’s history. These summer activities provide meaningful opportunities for students and families to learn, explore, and connect with local and state history. Take part and help celebrate South Carolina’s rich history, heritage, and contributions to our country.
The Palmetto Civics Project is a resource-rich initiative designed to foster students’ understanding of and respect for the institutions that sustain our civic life. Our goal is simple but profound: every South Carolina graduate will leave school prepared to embrace the privileges and the responsibilities of American citizenship.
Please visit SC Palmetto Civics Project to learn more.

Valedictorian Kennedy Ryan Rodgers spoke of the lifelong bond she and her fellow North Augusta High School graduates now share—an honor that unites the Yellow Jackets’ Class of 2026 with generations of alumni. Congratulations to this exceptional class of seniors. They leave bonded by the Friday Night Lights, the historic hurricane that reshaped their hometown, the unforgettable memory of their principal riding the BOD squad table at their first pep rally, and all the other moments that helped shape who they are today and who they will become. Congratulations, Class of 2026! #ACPSDcelebrates #ACPSD2026Grads #ACPSDGraduation
