Greenville,
SC – Stone
Academy, along with 10
other schools in South
Carolina, has been named
to the S.C. School
Improvement Council’s
2010 Honor Roll for its
significant efforts to
build parent and
community commitment to
their local schools.
Stone Academy and
other Honor Roll Schools
will continue in the
running for the SC-SIC’s
annual Dick and Tunky
Riley School Improvement
Award. The award, named
for the former US
Secretary of Education
and South Carolina
Governor and his late
wife, recognizes the
significant
contributions made to
public education by the
more than 15,000 School
Improvement Council
members who volunteer in
every public school in
the state.
The Stone Academy
School Improvement
Council has had many
accomplishments over the
past year. For example,
the Council took a
leadership role in
addressing the issue of
playground space for its
students and to
improving the safety of
the area surrounding the
school. The council made
efforts to enhance
instruction in science
by supporting Science
Fun Day and National
Chemistry Week. The SIC
has also been
instrumental in
strengthening the
school’s arts focus.
Five finalists from
this year’s Honor Roll
schools will be
identified in February,
with one to be selected
as the winner of the
Riley Award. The award
will be announced at the
SC-SIC’s 2010 Annual
Conference, March 8, in
Columbia.
