For National School Communicators Day, we celebrate the man behind the camera, our Coordinator of Marketing & Communications, Dylan Mccullough. He can usually be found taking pictures of exciting things happening around our district, writing news stories, giving shout outs, sharing important information with the community, creating marketing materials, and handling our social media and website. Dylan graduated from Crescent High School and Clemson University, and we are so thankful to have him in A3!

The #BeTheLight Class of 2020 Parade route is here! Seniors may begin lining up by the baseball stadium at 8:00 PM on Friday. Please enter from Good Hope Church Road. The procession will travel around the New Gym and up to the football stadium. Seniors and their families will make one loop around the track before making a right turn and exiting by the field house. To exit the Crescent campus, please use Parker Bowie Road. Deputies will be on-site to assist with the progression of the parade.
Seniors and their families are encouraged to decorate their vehicles. To adhere to social distancing guidelines, participants may not exit their cars on campus. This event is open to the Crescent Class of 2020, their families, and A3 personnel only.
After reviewing possible options, and speaking with students and parents, Anderson 3 has tentatively planned a graduation ceremony for Crescent High School to be held at NewSpring Church on Thursday, June 11th at 10AM.
Holding a commencement ceremony at NewSpring will allow the Class of 2020 to have a traditional ceremony, without any weather or audio-visual limitations. The facilities at NewSpring are larger than our school facilities, and allows parent/guests to attend while adhering to social distancing guidelines.
Graduates will be issued guest tickets based on current stipulations from the Governor. These plans are tentative, and are subject to change based on social distancing guidelines as we approach June 11th. The ceremony will be live-streamed online for families and the community to view. Thank you, NewSpring, for graciously opening your doors and allowing us to hold our graduation ceremony on their campus.
We are proud of the Crescent High School class of 2020, and can’t wait to honor them on June 11th!
Congratulations to Lily Franklin, Clemson University College of Education Early Childhood Student Teacher of the Year! Lily completed her student teaching experience at Flat Rock Elementary in Mrs. Amanda Loftis’ K5 classroom and Mrs. Christie Kyle’s 1st Grade classroom.
“Lily Franklin is an excellent teacher. She is compassionate, loving, knowledgeable, and professional. She was an asset to our school as she built relationships with our students and our staff while teaching kindergarten and first grade. We are very glad to have been part of her story and and proud that she has been recognized with this honor from Clemson University. Congratulations Lily!”
-Christy Dodd, Flat Rock Principal

eLearning instruction will continue, and will follow our normal district calendar.
We miss you and can't wait for our hallways and classrooms to be filled with the sounds of lockers slamming, pencils being sharpened, chairs scooting across the floor, students laughing, and all of us learning together once again!
