The Beaufort County School District is teaming up with government agencies and private-sector business partners to hold its annual “Back-to-School Expo,” designed to give students and their families a free day of fun, door prizes, and valuable information about the upcoming 2025-26 school year.
This year’s Expo is set for Saturday, July 26, at Battery Creek High School, located at 1 Blue Dolphin Drive in Beaufort. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We are excited to once again kick-off the upcoming school year with this annual event that enables families to gather a lot of practical and helpful information,” said Student Services Officer Juliet White, Ph.D. “District schools are pitching in, district employees are volunteering on a Saturday, and we’re glad to have participation from our business partners, civic groups, and faith-based groups.”
Students and their families are encouraged to attend the event, which will feature:
· Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.
· Door prizes from local restaurants and businesses.
· Free school supplies for students.
