Cadet 1st Lt. Dustin Olivia has played a crucial role in the MCJROTC over the past few years. This semester, he was selected as the Commanding Officer. Cadet 1st Lt. Olivia scored an impressive 296 points out of a possible 300 on the physical fitness test. During our annual weapon safety qualification, he was the only cadet out of 72 to qualify as an expert. CWO Tatum and GySgt Cuevas are proud of the exemplary standard this young man has set for others to follow.

Please come and learn how to connect with PowerSchool, a powerful tool for staying updated on your scholar's education.

An organization I belong to in Sun City, the Sun City Environmental Club, was newly formed and looking for a logo. I had heard Dr. Stephanie Hart, Director, JC CATE mention that the Design and Marketing classes were trying to establish themselves in the community, so I contacted her. The classes developed several options, and the Club picked one.

Ms. Broughton, Ms. Stephanie Anderson, the student with the winning design, and family were in attendance for a brief presentation that awarded Mr. Silverio Perez with payment for his design and recognition for his work.

This is the logo he designed.

The First Presbyterian Church of Hilton Head Island’s Social Witness Ministry is sponsoring an important event on Children's Gun Safety. Dr. Annie Andrew, a pediatrician and advocate for the safety of all children is the guest speaker. All are welcome and there is no charge. We hope you and others are able to attend to support our children.

I know you are concerned about gun safety. Here is an opportunity to support our children and assist in their protection from accidents and potential violence and to get information from a professional who has devoted her career to the care and protection of children.

We will provide clarity on our cell phone policy and answer any questions.
