CLOVER, S.C.- The Clover School District began the school year with three new schools. The newly built Lake Wylie High School and Liberty Hill Elementary School on Cannon Ball Run stand alongside the renovated Ninth Grade Campus, which has become Roosevelt Middle School. The opening of the three schools reflects a major period of growth for the Clover School District. With the community continuing to expand, the district faced the challenge of creating additional space while ensuring students would have access to the same facilities and educational opportunities as Clover High School. The new buildings are not simply additions to the district, but a reflection of how much the Clover community has changed over the years. When asked about the experience of opening three schools in the same year, Dr. Sheila Quinn answered decisively: “we created the playbook”. Quinn discussed both the stress of the district’s “Friday meetings” and the excitement of having two separate high schools for the first time in many decades. The last time the district had 2 separate high schools was in 1970, the year the segregated Roosevelt High School was closed, the namesake of the new Roosevelt Middle School. On opening three new schools in only a year Dr. Quinn says, “I do not recommend that… but I am so proud of the hard work that our staff did to open three schools. It was a tough job”. District officials are so proud of the new construction, but are remaining very weary and apprehensive about the idea of opening three new schools in the same year in the future. “Our neighbors in Fort Mill are used to opening a school every year or every other year. We opened three in one year”. It is definitely an exciting year for the school district and historic in the way this may not happen again for CSD. Despite the new size of our district, one thing will never change in CSD’s eyes, their promise of “Each Child, Each Day…Excellence”.
