Today was all about family, food, and fun as we celebrated "Goodies For Grandparents"! Grandparents joined us for a delightful breakfast spread and enjoyed treats, juice, and coffee. Smiles were everywhere!

A very notable member of our community paid PDMSTA a visit today... the newly elected Mayor Luke Giddings took a tour of our campus and shared time with our Senior Leadership Team! #uKnighted#Bishopville
PDMSTA had a special visitor today! One of our alumni, Tyler Brown, stopped by to visit the campus. Tyler currently is a rising sophomore at SC State University, and also made the Dean's List this year!
May 26th marked another historic moment for @pdmsta. Congrats to our 2nd HS grads-c/o ‘23. May you soar & succeed! Thanks to our Board, Senior Leadership, faculty, & families. Thank you, Dr. Mills & @SCPCSD, and Sen. Malloy, for your support. @geraldmalloySC at the graduation.
Great discussion with Supt. Neeley and radio host Kevin at The Point for the Kids First Radio show on Monday. They are passionate about change! I always love sharing about @pdmsta! #charterschoolsrock @chrisgneeley @PointRadioSC@KevenCohen
Join us for the #KidsFirst Radio Show with @KevenCohen on @PointRadioSC at 5:30 pm today. On today's show, Keven will speak with our Superintendent, Chris Neeley , and @ekbailey Executive Director of Pee Dee Math, Science Academy in Bishopville, SC. https://t.co/cRO7rKw006
Monday, I successfully defended my thesis and earned my EdD. The Dissertation Committee seemed intrigued to hear about my research and how the strategies I presented can positively impact rural education. One more goal completed off my bucket list!!!! #RuralEmpowerment
Today, we received our 10 year charter renewal. Shout out to our partnership with @SCPCSD and Supt. @chrisgneeley for their support.
PDMSTA is creating opportunities for students in the Corridor of Shame. Hats off to my leadership team and board. @pdmsta#ruralcharterschools
PDMSTA high schoolers got a taste of what a day with @ClemsonTigers looks like. Students were afforded the opportunity to experience a science lab and experiment at the college level! Hopefully this trip has inspired some of our Knights to become Tigers!
The class of 2023 is hard at work during their Senior Capstone course. Students are engaged in a problem-based learning project. We are proud of our seniors. #UKnighted#HomeoftheKnights#classof2023
PDMSTA is a family... and we took it to another level on Twin Tuesday! In celebration of National School Choice Week, on Tuesday everyone paired with another Knight to dress as twins. Here's a few pics! Visit https://t.co/zGOMQEuj7f for more photos. #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek
Open Enrollment is here! If you, or someone you know is interested in enrolling your student(s) at PDMSTA we would be more than happy to answer any questions. Give us a call at 803-428-8400!
PDMSTA Knights made western attire look good! It is fair to say that Western Wednesday was a hit! Take a look at just a few of our western outfits. To view more photos from that day visit: https://t.co/K64FuhX3tQ

We love visitors! We had the opportunity to give members of @SCPCSD a chance to experience PDMSTA in person! Emalee Baker, Wendy Ward, and Nick Michael visited classrooms and met with our Admin Team. We received guidance and had impactful conversations. @SCPCSD#UKnighted
🧵 of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.
Relevant.
Revelatory.
Revolutionary.

If you’re going to quote & authentically honor my father on #MLKDay, commit to embracing a ‘World House’ perspective.
Determine how you’ll disrupt unjust systems & thinking with nonviolent strategy.
Support policies that reflect higher consciousness.
Make no excuses for hate.
As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day.
