Adopted June 2025

Every student in Berkeley County Schools is expected to achieve at high levels, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that happens. From the boardroom to the classroom, we set and uphold clear expectations, provide rigorous, standards-based instruction, and invest in ongoing professional learning to accelerate student success. We hold ourselves accountable for creating an equitable system where instruction, grading, and support are transparent and aligned. By actively partnering with families, educators, and community members, we foster a shared commitment to literacy and academic excellence. At the center of this work are our students, who are expected to engage actively in their learning, take ownership of their growth, and rise to the high standards set for them. With guidance, support, and encouragement, students are accountable for putting forth their best effort, reflecting on their progress, and striving toward academic excellence. Together, we ensure that every student has access to the tools, support, and high-quality teaching necessary to meet and exceed those expectations.
