MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Itâs Teacher Appreciation Week and Horry County as well as the Pee Dee are filled with teachers eager to educate area children.
Beth Hendrick, an educator with Horry County Schools and a 2021 finalist for S.C. Teacher of the Year, said she knew from an early age she would teach one day and itâs because of those who taught her.
âI loved every teacher I had and just had so many special teachers,â Hendrick said. âOne that stands out to me was Miss Kulcuca in fourth grade. In her class we had a garden, she got a grant to get the first computers in the school. She loved us like her own.â
