Lexington County School District One received several awards from the South Carolina chapter of the National School Public Relations Association (SC/NSPRA).

The Communications Office won a video award for “Students get on board for a good book” about a Gilbert Attendance Area bus driver and a publication award for the Teacher of the Year Celebration Program.

“Being named Social Worker of the Year has been a humbling experience because there are so many great social workers,” Cheryl Cooley said. “There’s a popular saying that you’re only as great as the people you surround yourself with. And I can definitely say that about the social workers and staff I work with at District Five. There’s really none better.”
