Jasper County School District Home

Jasper County School District is excited to announce a new partnership with Real Champions, Inc., an organization dedicated to becoming trusted advocates for children by establishing long-term relationships that lead them to greater opportunities in life, school, and work. Real Champions is not a typical mentoring organization — they pay their mentors so that they can devote full time (40 hours per week) to working with the children they serve.

We are extending a great big thank you to Mr. Jack Kemp for organizing this special event in Sun City, where we had the opportunity to connect with residents and showcase the important work taking place in Jasper County School District. We are proud to share that supporting the Jasper County school system is a high priority for many Sun City residents, and we are grateful for their partnership.

Key Highlights from the Meeting:
- District priorities: school safety, quality education, and restoring trust with families and the community.
- Ongoing safety initiatives, including SROs on each campus, regular safety drills, and stronger family partnerships.
- Review of student performance data, highlighting growth in SC Ready and Algebra 1 scores.
- Updates on Dual Enrollment and Career Programs, providing students with early college and workforce opportunities.
- Financial transparency efforts, including improved systems, fiscal accountability, and upcoming audit goals.
- A renewed call for community partnerships to support student success across Jasper County.

Thank you to everyone who attended and continues to support our schools. Together, we are building a stronger future for our students and community.

Jasper County Parents and Staff,

In close coordination with the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Jasper County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), we are actively monitoring a developing tropical storm system that may impact our area. Potential hazards include high winds, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of localized flooding.
As of noon today, September 26, 2025, the NWS acknowledges uncertainty regarding the storm's exact track. Current projections loosely indicate that inclement weather could begin affecting our area on Monday afternoon, September 29, 2025.

We will gain greater clarity over the next 48 hours as the system develops. We commit to notifying all parents and staff of our operational status for Monday, September 29, 2025, no later than Sunday evening.

We are deeply thankful for the Sun City Veterans Association! 🙏

Their continued generosity is a game-changer for the MCJROTC scholars at RSAE. Commander Dale Dietz emphasized that the donation is part of a mission to help cadets "do good things in life," which is why they presented new Color Guard Rifles and a substantial check.

This support is essential! It helps fund extra training and pay for field trips to places like Army airfields and Coast Guard bases, ensuring all cadets can participate.

As 1stSGT Brian Dear puts it, their support is a powerful example of the community actively investing in youth development.

JCSD: Student-Centered...Future-Focused!

Thank you to everyone who attended the morning and evening sessions of our stakeholder workshops. We will hold these meetings monthly as we work together to make Jasper County School District a district of excellence.
