Busbee Creative Arts Academy has been recognized with a Palmetto Silver Award from the SC Department of Education for academic achievement and student progress on State Report Cards.
"Earning Palmetto Silver recognition reflects the dedication, growth, and steadfast commitment of our students and staff at BCAA,” Busbee Interim Principal Alicia Dickerson said. “This honor represents not just achievement, but the power of believing in excellence every single day."
The Palmetto Silver and Gold awards program was established by the South Carolina General Assembly as part of the Education Accountability Act (EAA) of 1998. The program recognizes and rewards schools for attaining high levels of absolute performance, high rates of growth, and for making substantial progress in closing the achievement gap between groups of students, according to the Department of Education.
“Having three schools earn Palmetto Silver Awards is a strong reflection of the focused work, shared commitment, and continued progress happening across our district,” said Lexington Two Interim Superintendent Dr. Angela Cooper. “We are grateful for the dedication of our school leaders, teachers, staff, students, and families who make this kind of achievement possible. This recognition affirms that Lexington Two is moving forward in meaningful ways, and that is truly something to celebrate.”
