CCSD records strong showing in Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards

Twenty-five Charleston County School District (CCSD) schools have been named by the South Carolina Department of Education as Palmetto Gold or Palmetto Silver Award winners for their student academic performance spanning the last two school years. The annual awards were established by the State Legislature to recognize and reward schools for high levels of academic achievement. Since no awards were announced last year, this year’s list recognizes schools for both 2018 and 2019.
