I’m thankful to live in the freest, most blessed nation the world has ever known. May God continue to bless these United States of America and may we continue to stand as a light upon a hill for generations to come!
@DominionEnergy@domenergysc@domenergysc why is it that the most remote parts of the state have their power restored but in eyeshot of the Capitol it’s the third night for many many thousands??
New Year, new approach. Rather than a typical school leaders meeting, we grouped our school leaders to visit their peer schools. Through conversations, classroom observations, and activities, the groups shared best practices and came together to transform a generation.
This week, the Institute team is offering boots-on-the-ground support to one of our new schools, the Willie Jeffries School of Excellence. WJSE will open in just under two weeks to students in grades K-6. We can’t wait to see how the Eagles will #MoveTheNeedle in Orangeburg!
@erskinecharters maintains a culture of servant leadership, integrity and respect. It is that culture that binds our people and makes us the #1 small company to work for in all of South Carolina for 2024!

Many, many thanks to Dame @andreajenkyns for meeting with our great school leaders in Parliament this afternoon. @ErskineCharters we love taking our leaders places they have never been and watching them grow for the benefit of our state’s precious children!
This afternoon, it was wonderful to host in parliament thirty South Carolina school leaders from the @ErskineCharters This included inspiring principals, superintedents & school directors. It was great to hear their passion for teaching.
Many congratulations to our recently approved charter applicant groups as well as our top 5 Teacher of the Year finalists, both of which we had the pleasure of hosting in our office this week!

Busy week at the Institute! Premiered our original documentary yesterday, & today our Ambassadors visited the State House to learn about legislation & advocacy. These events remind us of our responsibility to teach the next generation to live well and become productive citizens.
I enjoyed meeting with the young leaders in the Student Government program at American Leadership Academy - Lexington. We had a great conversation about the uniqueness and importance of American exceptionalism, leadership, culture, and education.
These incredible @ErskineCharters Ambassadors joined me at the statehouse to close out School Choice Week today. This week serves to remind the state how school choice is transforming a generation.
What an honor to celebrate a special school - @heronacademysc, a virtual AEC that opened last year and celebrated its first graduates last night. Thank you to SC Learns & Supt. @ellenfored for reminding us why we do this work - to help every student realize their potential.
We were excited to welcome our new Charter School Student Ambassador candidates to the office for their presentations. It was wonderful to learn more about what their charter school means to them. We look forward to the continued growth and expansion of the Ambassador program!
It was an honor to welcome Mr. @treywalker, Gov. @henrymcmaster's Chief of Staff, to American Leadership Academy Lexington last week! Thank you, Mr. Walker, for visiting both campuses and learning more about the mission and values at ALA and the Institute. #MoveTheNeedle
Our Institute-wide Academic Showcase was an incredible opportunity to celebrate our schools' successes from last school year. Our leaders, faculty members, and students were recognized in "the Erskine way" for Moving the Needle at their schools! Photos: https://t.co/eAqtqf3R4U
