Name that school

The new middle school under construction in Dorchester School District Two needs a name and you have a shot at what it's called

 A seventh middle school is under construction in Dorchester School District Two adjacent to Beech Hill Elementary School in one of the fastest growing areas of the district.   Dorchester School District Two will conduct a six-week campaign to invite employees, parents, students, and community members to submit recommendations for the name of the new middle school.


Projected to open in August 2022, the new school will serve students in 6th through 8th grade and will alleviate overcrowding in several of the district’s middle schools. Plans for the opening of the new school are underway this fall with the development of attendance areas for students to be assigned to the school;  naming the principal; and selection of the name for the school.


Community meetings will be held this fall to present proposals and receive input on the proposed attendance areas.


 An electronic proposal form for suggested names will be posted on the district website at www.ddtwo.org/schoolname under “Projects” from October 12- November 19, 2021.


Soliciting input from the community to name new schools is a tradition in Dorchester School District Two and is a very important part of the process.


Name recommendations will be compiled, and the results will be provided to the Board of Trustees to review as input in their decision for naming the new middle school.

We are excited to invite you to complete a survey that will reveal which tools employers most desire when recruiting and retaining talent. South Carolina is developing a new statewide education and workforce portal—a centralized platform to help employers connect with talent, training resources, and workforce development partners. Your input is critical in shaping the features of this portal to best meet the needs of businesses like yours. This survey will help us identify the most valuable features for employers and how the portal can complement or enhance your existing tools. Your feedback will directly influence the development and prioritization of key features. The survey is open and will close by EOB on Monday, November 10, 2025 . It should take approximately five (5) minutes to complete. SURVEY CAN BE FOUND HERE: Employer/Industry Association Survey Once you’ve completed the survey, we encourage you to share the link with others who may also be interested in providing feedback.
