Student of Excellence Award

The South Carolina Council for the Social Studies has long awarded Social Studies teachers on the elementary, middle and high school levels for doing outstanding work in the classroom in the field of Social Studies. SCCSS also awards a Program of Excellence in Social Studies Award each year as well.

SCCSS wishes to continue to recognize the people who are the reason why teachers and programs strive for excellence: the students in the Social Studies classrooms across our state. As the schools are the best judge of the excellence of their students' progress and achievement, we want the schools to decide which outstanding students will receive the SCCSS Student of Excellence in Social Studies Awards.

Criteria: (***open to students in grades K-12)

SCCSS will provide a digital copy of the certificate to a school upon request.

Individual schools will each set their own criteria for the Social Studies Student of Excellence Award

Schools will send the names of student winners to SCCSS

Schools will present these certificates to students at their awards programs or PTA meetings or however each school chooses to recognize the students

Names of student winners will be published each year in the program at our annual conference

Requests must be postmarked no later than May 1st of each year.

This is a wonderful opportunity for SCCSS to help you to recognize the students who are working hard in Social Studies classrooms in South Carolina. Social Studies is important in South Carolina and we want to show our most outstanding students that their efforts are important to us.

Contact the SCCSS with a list of names of your selected "most outstanding" Social Studies students and we will send a digital certificate which can be printed at your school.
