The Literary Savannah class had a memorable visit to the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home and explored the site that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. The class is a place-based English elective that examines Savannah through the eyes of the great writers who have lived in, loved, and shaped the beautiful city we call home. Students sharpen their critical thinking skills, explore different creative writing forms, and delve into the rich tapestry of Savannah’s literary landscape.

From Lower School to Upper School, our students eagerly explored our campus gardens while participating in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census! Created by the University of Georgia, this two-day census encourages pollinator conservation and appreciation across the Southeast. Students observed insects and collected valuable data, which our TREE club leaders will submit to UGA and its partners. This meaningful campus service project was a fantastic way for our students to engage with our gardens and start the new year on a positive note.

In its 4th year, the SCDS Clay Target Team won the 2022-23 State Championship in the General Division composed of the largest schools in GIAA. With a combined score of 1384, they defeated SCPS (1378) and Back-to-Back Champions BC (1367). Great shooting by senior Owen Haas, who received the Individual High Overall State Championship after tying with 3 athletes and winning the shoot-off. Ericka Ann McKeever was 2nd in the HOA for females. Scoring for the Hornets were Haas 287, Chase Buerger 283, Miles Carson 279, Dan Bradley 268 and Andrew Nicholson 267. A great showing for many SCDS athletes in this meteoric growth of clay target shooting throughout the country and now a varsity sport at many colleges. Congratulations to the coaches and team!

My career has turned out to be so fulfilling, and I look forward to each day! Moreover, my children are happy, safe, and well-rounded thanks to SCDS."
Carrie Vetrovsky, SCDS Teacher & Parent
We have been thrilled with how our daughter is thriving since transferring to SCDS for middle school. We are so appreciative of the faculty, staff and fellow parents who have eagerly guided us through this academic year. The school has exceeded our expectations."
Amy and Chad Brock, current parents
In my business (as a NASA engineer), we have to launch a rocket within an extremely tight window that's just minutes long because small deviations at that early, fiery moment have an enormous impact on the ultimate destination of the spacecraft. I believe that my time at SCDS, though brief and more than twenty years ago, continues to have a similar impact on my life."
Jeff Norris, SCDS class of 1994
