In the scurry of sports and summer plans, high school graduation ceremonies are popping up across Anderson County.
Our photographer, Ken Ruinard, is snapping pics at Belton-Honea Path, Wren, Palmetto, Powdersville, Crescent, Renaissance Academy, TL Hanna, and Westside. Check them out below.
In January 2021, SCETV Education began a media literacy professional learning cohort funded by PBS grant money. Participating educators learned a variety of ways to teach their students how to think critically about their roles as media consumers and creators.
They also earned credits toward the PBS Media Literacy Educator Certification by KQED and three participants have completed their certification requirements.
The cohort facilitator, Tamara Cox, librarian and media specialist at Wren High School in Anderson School District One, says teaching media literacy skills to students is important because there are “so many choices and you have information flying at you from all directions - social media, newspapers, videos, YouTube, everything online. It’s important for our students to be able to have the skills to navigate through these difficult media waters where you can’t just trust everything that you see, or read, or hear about online.”

After Anderson High Schools announced their plans to hold proms this year, students started shopping for prom gowns, tuxedoes and corsages.
For seniors, next on their to-do lists will be shopping for graduation outfits and planning parties.
While proms were canceled last year, most schools did go forward with their graduation ceremonies. Most seniors found themselves graduating outside on their school football fields wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding handshakes and celebrating with the very limited guests they were allowed to bring.
This year, schools have a little more flexibility for their graduation ceremony plans. But most are still facing limitations due to the ongoing pandemic.
