The facility is designed to be used by a wide range of students, from those participating in school sports teams to those looking to improve their personal fitness.

In addition to supporting athletes, Clover High School is considering offering afterschool fitness programs and open gym hours for students who wish to train outside of scheduled practices.

The opening of this new weight room illustrates the school’s commitment to student health and athletic excellence. With these upgrades, Clover High School is setting the stage for stronger, more competitive sports teams, while also fostering a more active student body.

YORK, S.C. - just After 2 and 1/2 years at the Humane Society of York County (HSYC), Gander, a lovable terrier mix, is still waiting for his forever home. Surrendered by his previous owner, Gander has proven to be a sweet and affectionate companion, winning over the hearts of everyone at the shelter with his charm and enthusiasm.

His playful personality, combined with his new skills, makes him an ideal match for a family looking for an active and loving pet. Described as “100% adorable,” Gander loves spending time with humans and would be happy to share his space with a canine sibling, provided the introductions go well. Whether it’s playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or enjoying some roughhousing, Gander is ready for a life filled with joy and affection. Gander is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested-fully prepared for his new home. Despite his long wait, shelter staff remain hopeful that the right family will offer Gander the stability and love he deserves.“He’s such a sweet boy who’s been waiting far too long for his chance at happiness,” said a shelter representative.
