Warrior Weekly

The mission of Waccamaw Middle School is to ensure that each Warrior is provided a strong, standards based academic foundation, diverse extra-curricular experiences, and opportunities to develop ownership and pride in order to create well-rounded, lifelong learners in a safe and supported community.

We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 178 for donating school supplies to our teachers! What a wonderful surprise and so appreciated! We are fortunate to have so many community members that support WMS!

Dear Potential SIC Members,

I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every parent, teacher, and community member that are expressing an interest in serving on the Waccamaw Middle School Improvement Council for the 2025-2026 school year. In South Carolina, a School Improvement Council is an advisory council to the principal and school on issues related to school improvement. The WMS SIC will serve a very important role in assisting with the development and progression of WMS improvement and innovation as the field of education continues to grow and change. Last year, our SIC’s goal was to increase awareness and write grants for library curriculum and books. We succeeded in helping bring attention to the needs of our library and applied for two grants and this year will receive district funds to assist with updating the library curriculum and books. I would like to share my sincere appreciation to each of you for possibly volunteering your time and energy on behalf of Waccamaw Middle School. Please join us at our first meeting of the year on Tuesday, August, 19 2025 at 6pm in the WMS Celebration Room. At this time we will review the SIC report from last year, look at the school-wide data and discuss the elected positions.

I thank you so much for your effort to support WMS this year in the hopes that we can be most successful! We look forward to a very productive school year with the help of all of our members.

With Warrior Pride,

Ginny S Haynes, Principal
