91 High School Seniors Honored at 10th Annual SC STEM Signing Day

S.C. Leaders Celebrate Future Innovators; S.C. Future Makers Awards Scholarships to 5 Students

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina’s future engineers, scientists, and innovators took center stage today as 91 high school seniors were celebrated at the 10th Annual South Carolina STEM Signing Day.

Modeled after collegiate sport signing days, the event recognizes students from across the Palmetto State who have committed to pursue a two- or four-year degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).

The ceremony was held at the University of South Carolina Alumni Center and featured recognition from South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, the South Carolina House of Representatives, and the South Carolina Senate. In a special visit to the Statehouse, honorees were applauded for their academic excellence and future contributions to the state’s STEM-driven economy

Created in South Carolina in 2017, STEM Signing Day has since expanded to 14 states and honored more than 2,000 students nationwide. More than 800 South Carolina students have participated since the event’s inception.

The event was presented by the Boeing Company and in partnership with BMW Manufacturing Co., Michelin North America, Nucor, SC Future Makers, and the South Carolina Manufacturers and Commerce.

“These students’ achievements reflect not only hard work and determination, but also the power of investing in education and opportunity,” said Jessica Williford, Senior Director of State Advocacy and Global Engagement for Boeing South Carolina. “As a company built on innovation, we know the future depends on talented, STEM-focused students to continue to grow the manufacturing workforce in South Carolina for decades to come.”

SC Future Makers awarded scholarships to five students participating in SC STEM Signing Day. The scholarships are intended to help further each student’s STEM education and were awarded based on academic achievement, career goals, and demonstrated interest in STEM fields.

Scholarship Recipients:

Kimberly Rivera Aguirra, Calhoun County, $5,000
Aeryn Smith, Georgetown County, $2,500
Hannah English, Marlboro County, $2,500
Trevon Robinson, Williamsburg County, $1,000
Alejandro Holloway, Kershaw County, $1,000


“We’re proud to invest in students who are committed to pursuing STEM and building their futures here in South Carolina,” said Elisabeth Kovacs, Executive Director of SC Future Makers. “These scholarships not only recognize their achievements, but also help open doors as they prepare to lead in high-demand, high-impact careers.”

Ms. Deon Jones' English II students were engaged in an activity where they were tasked with arranging sentence strips in sequential order and label their function in the body paragraph. They practiced using the thesis statement of the introduction as a clue to determine what the topic sentence of the body paragraph should be, then determine which sentences serve as the evidence from the text, supporting details and explanation of the evidence. They used the representation of the items of a hamburger to represent the key components of a well-developed paragraph. This should help them to remember how to organize their paragraphs when writing.
