CMS Tiger Family, please help us celebrate HCS Top 5 Teacher of the Year!!!

In a district with over 3,100 teachers, being named one of the top five finalists for Teacher of the Year in Horry County Schools is a remarkable achievement. This prestigious recognition highlights the extraordinary dedication and passion for teaching that Mr. Maurice Sheffield embodies every day at Conway Middle School. As an 8th grade social studies teacher, Mr. Sheffield’s influence extends far beyond the classroom, impacting his students, colleagues, and the entire school community.

We are proud to announce that the CMS Orchestra is coming home with some new hardware! For the first time in school history, we participated in the SCMEA Orchestra Division Concert Performance Assessment and received a rating of Excellent!
