Project Lead The Way honors five CCSD schools

May 1, 2020

Charleston County School District is proud to announce five schools have been named Distinguished Schools by Project Lead The Way (PLTW), either as a High School or Gateway School. The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW programs.

Wando High School becomes the first high school in South Carolina honored by PTLW three years in a row, and Thomas C. Cario Middle School is the only middle school in the state to receive Distinguished School status for three consecutive years for its Gateway to Technology program.

Charleston Charter School for Math and Science (CCSMS) is a Distinguished High School for the first time, and the middle school program picked up Gateway honors for the second time in three years. CCSMS is one of just a few schools in the country to pick up multiple awards from PLTW in the same year.

In addition, Morningside Middle School was recognized for the second year in a row as a Gateway School and Laing Middle School received the Gateway honor for the first time.
