We're still celebrating an incredible milestone from Tuesday, August 18 as Junior Achievement of Greater South Carolina officially launched the first 3DE school in South Carolina at Conway High School!

This achievement would not have been possible without the visionary leadership and partnership of Horry County Schools and Conway High School , who embraced this innovative, life-changing model of education to better prepare students for future success. We are honored to work alongside educators and community leaders who are committed to transforming the learning experience for students.

The launch of 3DE is also a testament to the power of collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the many businesses and organizations that stepped forward to support this work and invest in the future of South Carolina's students. Thank you to OrthoSC, Conway Medical Center, Palmetto Corp., McLeod Health, Horry County School District, Partnership Grand Strand, Santee Cooper, HTC, Anderson Brothers Bank, SCDEW, CCNB, and Hadwin-White Automotive Group. Your partnership makes this transformative opportunity possible.

We are excited to see the impact 3DE will have on Conway High School students throughout the coming year. This is just the beginning. Next, we'll bring 3DE to North Myrtle Beach High School, with a vision of expanding this innovative educational model to even more schools across South Carolina in the years ahead.
