Welcome back, everyone! Over the first few days of school Superintendent Dr. Matthew Ferguson along with members of the Darlington County Board of Education visited every school in the district. The group met with students, principals, teachers, school nutrition staff and custodians! The visits went great, and we are looking forward to an excellent school year.
