This past Friday night, students from across our Waccamaw schools came together as one for a very special performance. Our WES Dolphins joined the Gators from Waccamaw Intermediate and the Warriors from Waccamaw Middle and High School to sing the National Anthem together. 🎶🇺🇸

The performance helped kick off Waccamaw High School’s first home football game of the season and was a wonderful reminder that although our students attend different schools, we are all part of the same Waccamaw family.

We are so proud of our students for representing WES and being part of such a meaningful display of unity, school spirit, and community pride!

Nothing brings people together quite like a shared meal, and today our staff enjoyed a wonderful lunch thanks to James Beal with Equitable Advisors!

As we prepare to welcome students for a new school year, we’re grateful for community partners who take the time to invest in and encourage our educators. Your thoughtfulness made our day a little brighter and reminded us how fortunate we are to be supported by such caring members of our community.

Thank you, James Beal and Equitable Advisors, for helping us kick off the school year with full hearts—and full stomachs! 💙🐬
