Education is Focus in Hartsville, South Carolina

Comer applauds program's success in Hartsville

The big news in educational activities this week was the talk by Dr. James Comer about the initiative that bears his name that Hartsville is implementing in four of the city's elementary schools. The article is interesting and makes several points worth repeating but most importantly that all our children need educations that  will help them function well in society. Everyone should read this article as Hartsville is becoming a national leader in educational innovation and the Comer program and PULSE initiative are key examples.

Without going into detail here, some other examples include:
The Governor's School for Science and Math and Technology
The Hartsville High IB Program
The Byerly Foundation sponsored Team Foxes program at the Hartsville Middle School
Sharing a Chinese professor between Coker College, HHS and GSSM

Truly, the list can go on. 

This is a big week for education news as area school graduate their 2012 classes. Let's think education -- let's do education --- let's educate and be educated. Make Hartsville the Education center of South Carolina!
