At SCSGC, we love research, but that's not all we provide our students experience with. Behold our 2026 Palmetto Academy students practicing their soft skills via communication and team building! A lot was learned, and fun had by all. We can't wait to hear how you all put these skills to use in your summer projects and beyond.
