We cannot end this week without giving a shout out to our school counseling staff! We did get to celebrate them today. Happy School Counselors Appreciation Week!
FAFSA Workshop: We are excited to announce a FAFSA Workshop for SENIORS and their parents scheduled for TONIGHT February 5th, 2025, at the Byrnes High School cafeteria, beginning at 6:00 PM.

The 78th annual session of the American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State is now accepting applications for delegate selection. Each year, ALA PGS is held to provide a unique forum for the state’s rising high school senior girls to learn about government and the political process. This year’s ALA PGS will be held on the campus of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, from Sunday, June 8, to Saturday, June 14. ALA PGS allows young women to expand their leadership skills and meet other outstanding young women from across the state. Some delegates even form lifelong bonds from their time at ALA PGS.
It is an honor to be selected as a delegate to American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State. The American Legion and its Auxiliary sponsor Boys and Girls State to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship. State programs are held nationally, and alumni of these programs are known and recognized nationwide for their academic achievement and civic leadership. Many alumni of Palmetto Boys and Girls States have gone on to successfully run for local and state office in South Carolina. Colleges and universities also offer scholarships to Boys and Girls State alumni.
Applications are available now on Schoology and if a paper application is necessary, please email ALA PGS representative, Madison Carver at madison.carver@spart5.net.
Applications are due February 21st. If you have any questions about ALA PGS or the application process, please refer to the 2026 Schoology group post from Ms. Carver.
