Huge congratulations to Christine Owens on being named the 2026 Charter Institute Communications Champion Award winner! 🎉

As CEO, David Crook, shared, “Christine somehow manages to stay on top of every Social Media trend, every social media algorithm change, every branding detail, every photo, every story, every crisis communication moment… and apparently still had time to make me eat a cheeseburger for our viewers.

In all seriousness, this recognition is incredibly well deserved. Christine’s work has helped shape and elevate the voice of The Heron Institute, CASC, and Heron Virtual Academy, making a real impact on students, families, and staff across South Carolina. We are proud of her accomplishments and grateful for the passion, creativity, and leadership she brings every day."

Congratulations, Christine, on this outstanding honor!
