What a week to be a Warrior! 🎉
On Thursday our staff celebrated an outstanding report from the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) with some sweet words from Principal Eddy and Superintendent Giles—and an even sweeter sundae bar spread! 🍨
And just when we thought the week couldn’t get any better, Mrs. Wines surprised us with pies in honor of Pi Day Friday (3.14)! 🥧
Great news, great leadership, and great treats—what more could we ask for?
It is a priviledge to serve the students of Waccamaw High!
