ClarendonCSD Acknowledges September and October Exceptional Teacher, Staff, and Transportation Honorees
MANNING, S.C. –In Clarendon County School District, we recognize that it takes a village to educate and empower our children while building a strong culture of learning in our schools. Our teachers, staff, and transportation team play an essential role in ensuring that students have a safe environment to excel, fostering positive change in the lives of our young people, families, and community.
Each month, the district proudly recognizes outstanding teachers, staff members, and transportation employees who make a lasting impact across our schools. The Teacher Feature of the Month, Star Staff of the Month, and Transportation Champion awards highlight individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication, professionalism, and care for our students.
The Teacher Feature and Star Staff awards are coordinated by the district’s Teachers of the Year. Colleagues nominate award recipients for their excellence in the prospective positions, dedication to student success, and positive contributions to Clarendon County School District. The Transportation Champion is coordinated by the Office of Transportation showcasing the importance of those who get our students to school safely and on time for success.
