Our very own, Grace Bratcher received a $2,500 scholarship from the Winyah Chapter of the DAR during a ceremony on Wednesday. April 15th. The scholarship committee recognized students in Georgetown County who exemplify accomplishments in our community and in hopes of supporting them as they grow and mature into competent, productive service providers and community leaders. Congratulations, Grace! We are so proud of you!

Kaleb Altman, a senior here at Andrews High School has been awarded the prestigious South Carolina Teaching Fellowship.

Kaleb will join the freshman cohort at University of South Carolina this fall where he will be offered numerous professional development opportunities and be involved with communities and businesses through various service projects and partnerships with local schools.

The state’s Teaching Fellows Program, operated by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA), was established in 1999 by the SC General Assembly. The mission of the program is to recruit talented high school seniors into the teaching profession and help them develop leadership qualities. Each year, the program provides Fellowships for up to 215 high school seniors who have exhibited high academic achievement, a history of service to their school and community, and a desire to teach in South Carolina.

Applicants for the program undergo a rigorous selection process that includes an online application, an interview and presentation in front of a team of three educators, and a scored response.

Following the rigorous selection process, applicants who are awarded a Fellowship receive up to $24,000 in yearly scholarships (up to $6000 a year for four years) to attend a Teaching Fellows Institution in South Carolina. Each Fellow agrees to teach in South Carolina one year for every year he or she receives the Fellowship.
