As Clover School District prepares to open three new schools this fall, we are proud to continue introducing the outstanding educators who will help launch Liberty Hill Elementary School.
Today, we shine a spotlight on the dedicated 1st and 2nd grade teachers who play such an important role in strengthening the foundation built in the early years. At this stage, students grow by leaps and bounds—developing confident reading skills, deepening their understanding of math concepts, and learning the value of responsibility and perseverance. Through steady guidance, high expectations, and caring support, these teachers will help young Patriots build independence and a lasting love of learning.
Please join us in congratulating these new Patriots as they prepare to welcome students and establish a proud tradition of excellence at Liberty Hill Elementary this fall!

On Thursday, students at Larne Elementary School brought Black History Month to a meaningful close with a special program presented by Dorothy Guthrie, Co-founder and Curator of the African American Museum of History & Culture at Loray Mills in Gaston County. A proud Clover native and retired librarian and educator who served in Clover, Gaston County, and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Ms. Guthrie brought history to life for students. Through carefully preserved artifacts, engaging stories, and heartfelt words of encouragement, she provided a tangible connection to the people and events that have shaped our local community and our nation.
The month’s celebration concluded with a spirited door decorating contest. A panel of student judges evaluated each classroom display based on creativity, student participation, historical accuracy, and overall presentation. Throughout the school, classrooms showcased thoughtful and well-researched tributes honoring influential Black leaders whose legacies continue to inspire future generations.

"In the home stretch!"
That's how CSD Chief Operations Officer Dr. Mark Hopkins characterized construction progress at Lake Wylie High School and Liberty Hill Elementary School.
At Lake Wylie High School, elevators are being installed, and the focus is on interior finishes--including Columbia blue and gold paint in the locker rooms. The sound system is installed and being tested, and landscaping will be coming with the warmer weather. Project managers are also looking at the timeline to begin delivering furniture to the new school.
At Liberty Hill Elementary, mechanical systems, like the HVAC, have been installed and are being tested. Walls are being primed, and roofing is going on the building.

Inclement weather caused CSD's January School Board meeting to be held virtually. As a result, we missed some of the cherished traditions from School Board Appreciation Month. We held those events last night at the February meeting to catch up on our celebrations.
Board members signed the Ethical Principles Doctrine poster and were presented with gift baskets from the schools and district office.

As we celebrate impressive seasons by this year's Clover High School Varsity Girls and Boys Basketball Teams, we also pause to remember a historic achievement from our community’s past—the Roosevelt High School Boys Basketball Team’s 1970 South Carolina Class A State Championship. The Tigers defeated the Lower State Champion Matthew E. West High School to bring home the trophy and state title.
The Roosevelt "Mighty" Tigers earned their trip to the title game by defeating Mays High School in the District III Class A Championship, and then defeating Riverside High School from Pendleton, South Carolina, in the Upper State Tournament. According to details in the 1970 Roosevelt yearbook, the championship game was won with strong shooting led by Jackie Tate and William Dulin and outstanding defensive play by David McCollum, Clement Falls and Felix Watson. This remarkable victory marked a proud moment for Clover, and during Black History Month, we are honored to highlight one of the most accomplished teams our community has ever known.
It’s National Public Schools Week (Feb. 23–27)! 🎉
This week, we proudly celebrate our public schools—the educators, staff, students, and families who work together every day to create strong schools and a stronger community. Thank you for supporting public education and the opportunities it provides for all.

CSD is saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., a Greenville, South Carolina, native and towering figure in American history. His lifelong work as a civil rights activist, minister, and public servant helped shape the nation. A protégé of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he rose to prominence as one of the most influential leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, continuing the fight for justice and equality for decades after Dr. King’s death. Jackson was also a presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988, winning the South Carolina primary during his first campaign. He bore witness to many defining moments of the civil rights movement, and his passing is especially poignant as it comes during Black History Month. Our community remains grateful for his enduring legacy and the path he helped pave for future generations.

Later this year, Clover School District (CSD) will open its third middle school, Roosevelt Middle School. Roosevelt Middle’s name pays homage to the former Roosevelt School that served Clover’s African American community from 1923-1970.
CSD is currently collecting highlights in the history of the Roosevelt School for a display at the new Roosevelt Middle. During Black History Month, CSD will celebrate this legacy by sharing some of those highlights.
Today, we explore the various names, colors and symbols that were a part of the school’s history.
The school originally opened in 1923 as the “Clover Colored School.” That name changed to “McKnight School” in 1936 in honor of the
school’s principal, H. J. McKnight. The school’s name changed a final time in 1948 when it was renamed in honor of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The school’s colors were royal blue and gold, and the school’s mascot was the Tigers. The royal blue and gold colors and the Tiger mascot have both been adopted for the new Roosevelt Middle School.
