Dear Lancaster County School District Families and Community,
As we approach the school bond referendum, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for participating in this important democratic process. Your voice, your vote, and your perspectives are vital to shaping the future of our district and ensuring that we serve every student, every day, with the excellence they deserve.
Our commitment to each student’s success remains steadfast. At the heart of our vision is a dedication to making Lancaster County School District the premier district in South Carolina—a district that values excellence for every student and is all in for all students, in all areas of the county, all the time. We are building a culture of continuous improvement, striving every day to reach new heights in academic achievement, and committed to providing high-quality instruction that empowers every child to succeed. Our focus will always be on putting our children first.
As your superintendent, I am dedicated to working alongside our teachers, parents, and community members to turn this vision into reality. We know that true progress happens when we work together, and your commitment to doing what is best for our students is inspiring. It is through collaboration and a shared purpose that we will not only support our students but also make Lancaster County a great place to live, work, and learn.
Research consistently shows that moving from good to great as a school district requires collective focus and determination in several key areas: exceptional teaching, strong leadership, supportive community partnerships, and a relentless pursuit of continuous improvement. We are focused on each of these elements and committed to creating the highest quality learning environments for our students. Our district’s focus on academic excellence, quality instruction, and building safe and supportive environments provides the foundation our students need to thrive.
Thank you again for your dedication to our district’s vision and for your role in shaping a bright future for our children. Together, we will continue to push forward, holding high our goal of excellence, driven by our commitment to each and every student in Lancaster County.
Yours for excellence in education,
Raashad Fitzpatrick, Ed.D #AllIn
