Clover School District (CSD) will welcome more than 1,500 staff members back-to-school for the 2026-2027 school year at their annual Convocation.
Convocation will be held Monday, July 27, at 9:30 a.m. in the Clover School District Auditorium, located at 1625 Highway 55 East, Clover SC 29710.
Part pep rally and part professional development, the Convocation program includes:
- Combined and individual performances by the Lake Wylie High School Marching Band and The Pride of Clover Marching Band;
- A performance by the CSD Choraliers;
- The announcement of the 2026-2027 District Teacher of the Year; and
- Remarks from Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn who will introduce this year’s theme, “We belong. We support. We succeed—Together.”
This will be the first Convocation to include representation from the district’s three new schools—Lake Wylie High School, Roosevelt Middle School and Liberty Hill Elementary School. The Lake Wylie High School Marching Band will deliver the first-ever public performance of the school’s fight song.
At a later date, the District Teacher of the Year will receive the lease of a new car from Fred Caldwell Chevrolet.
