School Improvement Council
Learning*Engaging*Serving
The School Improvement Council (SIC) serves as an advisory committee for the school. Unlike voluntary school organizations, the SIC is mandated by law to exist in every public school in South Carolina. SICs play a key role in the education of our state's children, bringing together parents, educators and community stakeholders to collaborate on the improvement of their local school. (To learn more about SICs in South Carolina, please visit the website for the SC SIC.)
Here are our members for the 2021-22 school year. Reach out to any members below for more info or join us at monthly meetings. These should start in September and will be posted on the school calendar and in the Falcon Flyer weekly newsletter. For more info, you can also review these pages or view our Report to the Parents.
