For almost two decades, I’ve attended District Five graduations and watched how thousands of our young men and women have walked across the stage to begin their next chapter in life!

Whether it’s college, work, military or family, seeing these graduates proudly accept their diplomas tells me what we all know here in the community: we have top-notch schools, teachers, faculty, and families that work together for our students’ success.

I wasn’t able to attend Irmo High this year but together with Chapin High, Dutch Fork High, and Spring Hill High, our district graduates were awarded over $200,000,000 in scholarships!

That’s something I’m proud of and hope you are, too!
