We are proud to announce that Ridgeland Elementary School has been named a National Beta School of Distinction. This prestigious recognition from the National Beta Club celebrates schools that not only grow their Beta Club membership but also demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the core values of achievement, character, leadership, and service.

We commend Principal Renata Johnson-Green and the entire RES team for their dedication to fostering student success and service. By actively participating in National Beta events, increasing membership, and achieving service hour awards, Ridgeland Elementary has earned this honor and continues to shine as a model of excellence for our district.

We extend a special thanks to State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver for stopping by our classrooms. We enjoyed showing off our school! It was business as usual on campus, but still a great pleasure showing that there are GREAT things happening in Jasper County.

Carey Hill Baptist Church welcomed Dr. Laura Hickson, Interim Superintendent to service on Sunday morning, August 24, 2025! ✨

Dr. Hickson offers this thanks:

"I enjoyed fellowshipping with Pastor Mitchell, First Lady Mitchell, Mrs. Fraser, and the entire Carey Hill Baptist Church family. 🙏🏾

What a blessing it was to witness great members, great youth, a great choir, and a powerful message. 💙💛”

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who joined us for today’s Stakeholder Workshop. Dr. Laura Hickson, Interim Superintendent, looks forward to building on this momentum and continuing meaningful conversations with our community as we work together to unlock the full potential of Jasper’s scholars.

We are especially grateful for the strong presence of our elected officials, local organization leaders, and business partners whose commitment strengthens our shared vision for success.

A special thank-you goes to State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver for visiting and sharing her inspiring vision for the future of Jasper’s schools.

Stay tuned for upcoming parent workshops—we know that creating one of the top school districts in South Carolina will take the collective effort of our entire community.
