Welcome to Mamie P. Whitesides Elementary School, home of the Wildcats. We are a Charleston County School District (CCSD) neighborhood school, nestled in the heart of Mount Pleasant. The original Mamie P. Whitesides Elementary School was built in 1956 for 350 students in grades 1-7. We have been in our current building since 2010, and for the 2022-2023 school year, we have approximately 800 students in four-year-old Child Development classes through fifth grade.

The staff at Whitesides is dedicated to ensuring that the academic, social, and emotional needs of all of our students are met each and every day. Our parents and community members are a vital part of our learning environment as well. We could not be successful without them! With a collaborative spirit, we continue to reach for the stars with our students!

I’m so excited to be a part of this Wildcat Family, and I look forward to meeting you and working with you this year!

With Wildcat Pride,

Michelle Conner

Principal
