Did you know teens are nearly 3x more likely to be in a fatal crash than experienced drivers? That’s why every safe choice matters—seatbelts on, phones down, eyes on the road. Teen drivers: your friends, family, and community want you home safe every time. This message is brought to you by the Florence County Traffic Safety Commission, a collective of agencies from across the county working together to keep our roads safe!

🚨 We’re hiring! Join the School District of Florence County team 🐾 Opportunities include teaching, coaching, para support, bus driving, food service, & after-school care. Apply today & make a difference! 💚💛 #GoFloCats

💚💛 We are grateful everyone is safe.
This morning, our Green Route bus was rear-ended while stopped on US 2. We are so thankful to share that the nine students on board and our driver are all safe and unharmed. No students were loading at the time.
Our bus did exactly what it was designed to do—protect our passengers—and we are grateful everyone arrived at school safely today.
Thank you for keeping our students, staff, and drivers in your thoughts. We are blessed to have such a caring Bobcat community.
