❤️🖤 WE JUST CAN’T HIDE THAT WARRIOR PRIDE! 🖤❤️
We are incredibly proud to share this wonderful feature from the Coastal Observer highlighting what makes Waccamaw Middle School such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.
Being named Palmetto’s Finest was an incredible honor, but this article reminds us that the award is about so much more than test scores. It’s about school culture, relationships, student voice, high expectations, and creating a place where kids want to be.
At WMS, we believe students can work hard AND play hard. We believe every child should have a trusted adult, a place where they belong, and a voice in making their school better.
We are so proud of our students, teachers, staff, families, and community who make Warrior Nation what it is every single day. This recognition belongs to all of you!
Take a few minutes to read the full article and see why we are so proud to call Waccamaw Middle School home! ❤️🖤
We just can’t hide that Warrior Pride!

Principal Ginny Haynes isn’t required to do any of it — state law just says feed the kids in 20 minutes. She does a lot more than the minimum.
