🏗️ Learning in Action at SDPC’s Gateway to Innovation!
Today, our Hagood students had an exciting opportunity to see another part of the construction process taking place at SDPC’s Gateway to Innovation! 👷♀️👷♂️
Students utilized our walking trail to get a firsthand look as construction continues right next door. What an incredible opportunity to watch this innovative facility come to life and expose our students to the many careers, skills, and possibilities connected to a project like this!
We are grateful for opportunities that allow learning to extend beyond the classroom walls.

SDPC is beginning the search for our next superintendent.
Following 13 years of leadership, Superintendent Dr. Danny Merck will conclude his service at the end of the 2026–2027 school year. With advance planning, the Board of Trustees is beginning the search process now to support a thoughtful and seamless transition.
The search will be guided by our Innovate ’28 Strategic Plan and shaped by input from the people who know and care about SDPC — our students, employees, families, and Pickens County community.
🗣️ Your voice matters.
The Board of Trustees, in partnership with the South Carolina School Boards Association, is gathering community input to help identify the qualities, experience, and leadership priorities that should guide the search for SDPC’s next superintendent.
The first opportunity to share your input:
📅 Tuesday, September 29, 2026
📍 Liberty High School (124 Red Devil Drive, Liberty, SC 29657)
⏰ 6:00 PM
Additional opportunities for community input will be announced as the search progresses.

🧪 Mixtures & Solutions in Action! 🥣🧃
Science was extra tasty today! We explored mixtures and solutions by making our own Chex Mix and creating juice using concentrated flavor drops. Students got to see firsthand how the ingredients in a mixture keep their own properties, while the concentrate dissolves in water to form a solution.
Nothing beats learning while eating a tasty snack! 🔬
