The state's School Report Card rating system rated Berkeley County again with an absolute rating of "Average," along with sure signs of improvement in the Goose Creek, Hanahan area. All of our individual schools rated at lest Average. There were also eight local schools rated "Excellent," meaning the schools substantially exceed standards. This includes Stratford High School that improved from a "Good" rating in 2010 and Hanahan High School that was rated Average in 2010.

All four of our local football teams posted strong wins Friday night and will move on in the post-season playoffs. Next week, Goose Creek hosts Northwestern and Hanahan hosts Timberland. Stratford will be traveling to Ashley Ridge and Cane Bay takes on A.C. Flora.

Michele Bachmann came to Charleston to give her foreign policy vision, but she was interrupted by more than a dozen protesters with the Occupy movement.

The group then began a call and response message similar to speeches at Occupy rallies throughout the country.
