GCSD Magnet Schools Student Showcase Dates
This week, we celebrate our school counselors who advocate, guide, encourage, and empower our Bears every single day. From academic planning and career exploration to social-emotional support and crisis response, school counselors play a vital role in helping students grow into confident, capable, and future-ready leaders.

Thank you for being trusted listeners, problem-solvers, cheerleaders, and champions for our students. Your impact goes far beyond the counseling office and is felt throughout our entire school community.

Hello Bear Family!!!

**Carvers Bay Middle School STEAM Academy Named Magnet School of Distinction**

This national honor recognizes the school’s innovative, hands-on approach to learning through science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. Students engage in real-world, project-based experiences that build critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity, supported by programs such as AVID and partnerships with organizations like the SC Sea Grant Consortium.

From robotics teams advancing to regional competitions to expanded fine arts opportunities and national student achievements, Carvers Bay Middle School STEAM Academy continues to foster a culture of excellence, pride, and innovation.
