“We’re putting a dent in the nursing shortage.”
That’s how Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) advisor Terri Campbell summarized the work of this important club at the Center for Career Innovation (CCI). With a focus on preparing future health professionals, HOSA conducts a variety of activities throughout the school year to address health concerns in the community.
Last night, the group held its end-of-year celebration to highlight a year of accomplishments. Most notably, HOSA had four times the number of members as in previous years. More than 100 students showed up for the club’s interest meeting back in the fall. The group was so large that it could no longer meet in the health occupations classroom!
More members meant the club could undertake more community service. Instead of the 10 events held in previous years, the group supported more than 50 projects in 2025-2026. These included a personal care item drive for Clover Area Assistance Center (CAAC), the NAMI Walk for mental health awareness, the American Heart Association Heart Walk, the school district’s Trunk or Treat, the district’s Holiday Assistance Program, reading to elementary school classes, helping local Girl Scout troops with first aid badges, conducting Red Cross blood drives, making cards and goodie bags for first responders and holding toy drives for Levine Children’s Hospital.
Seniors who will graduate later this month received their honor cords for HOSA and highlighted where they will be attending college and what their majors will be. Majors included public health, nursing, pre-med, psychology, biology, radiology and exercise science.
Students who competed in the State HOSA competition received certificates for their participation, along with those students who placed in the chapter’s poster and quiz bowl contests.
HOSA advisors are Terri Campbell and Carmen Myrick.
Cadets in the Clover High School AFJROTC program were honored Monday evening as more than 18 graduating seniors were recognized for their commitment to enlist in branches of the United States Armed Forces and were presented with military cords to wear at graduation.
The corps, which is the largest AFJROTC program in the nation, also recognized outstanding cadets for leadership, service, academic excellence, and achievements throughout the year. Congratulations to all of the cadets who were honored. We salute your efforts and service!

The 2026 Eagle Yearbook was distributed to students at Clover High School (CHS) today.
You might think this just involves cracking open a box and putting a book in the hands of a student, but at CHS, it's an entire experience!
Students checked in and passed through a TSA checkpoint. They were greeted by pilots and flight attendants before entering a seating area to represent a plane. The area around "the plane" was decorated to reflect popular tourist destinations around the world.
The theme of this year's yearbook is "Always Something on our Minds." Leann Mellon is the yearbook advisor.
These students are wearing new turnout gear received by the Center for Career Innovation's (CCI) Fire Science program. Five of the students are moving on to Fire I. One student is in Fire 2, and one must wait until she is 16 to enter the program.
The students are pictured with CCI's Principal, Carrie Bolin. Their instructor is Chief Scott Boyd.

Lake Wylie High School (LWHS) held its "Meet Your New School" Night yesterday and used the platform to unveil several items that will shape the culture of the new school.
First LWHS Student Body President Miriam Hunter-Whitt shared the school seal, emphasizing the energy, power and impact of Chargers. Other student leaders shared the motto and gave updates on the progress on a fight song and alma mater.
LWHS Yearbook Advisor Tracey Player conducted a student vote on a name for the yearbook. She also revealed the school's sideline mascot. While the team will be known as the Chargers and their logo is a lightning bolt, the lightning bolt will be represented on the sidelines on Friday nights by a Bull named "Charger" with lightning on his back.
All school academic departments and extracurricular activities had booths at an information fair, where students and parents could ask questions or sign up to participate next year. Many, including athletics and band, gave guests a sneak peek at the uniforms the Chargers will be wearing starting next year.
The highlight of the night was the introduction of the full staff of Lake Wylie High School.

From caring for everyday bumps and bruises to supporting the health and well-being of our entire school community, our nurses are a vital part of each school day. They bring compassion, expertise, and calm to every situation—often serving as a reassuring presence for students and staff alike.
Thank you for the countless ways you keep our schools safe, healthy, and ready to learn. We are so grateful for all that you do!

Clover School District (CSD) has been notified by Duke Energy of a small reconductoring project near OMS and OES that will be getting underway next week and will be ongoing for the next six weeks.
The project work is on Hwy 557 near Oakridge Middle School. There are no major customer impacts associated with this work (no tree clearing or line relocations are anticipated).
From Thatcher Crossing to Davis Mill Road, traffic will likely be routed through the median or off the roadway with minimal impact. From Davis Mill Road to the creek, one lane will need to be closed, and flagging operations will be used to manage traffic. This is a highly trafficked area .
