Help Support Our Future Teachers!
Waccamaw High is raising money for scholarships for graduating seniors who plan to become teachers — through the GCSD Teacher Forum.
Here’s how you can help:
• Stop by the WHS Front Office
• Choose an envelope with the dollar amount you’d like to give
• Turn it in to Ms. Sargent or Mrs. Stewart

This fundraiser leads up to the GCSD Teacher Forum’s “Relay for Education” event on Saturday, November 8, from 11 AM–2 PM at Georgetown High School. This community celebration supports scholarships for future teachers and brings together GCSD employees, students, and families for a fun day of walking laps, school pride, and celebrating education!
Stop by the school and make a donation if you can.
Help us keep our schools great by funding the next generation of teachers!
