The School Improvement Council at Port Royal Elementary School has recently been named to the S.C. School Improvement Council's Honor Roll for this year.

Port Royal is one of only 15 SICs on the Honor Roll, all in the running for the 2012 Dick and Tunky Riley Award for School Improvement Council Excellence. This award was established in 2002 and recognizes the critical efforts and progress made by SIC members who volunteer in each of our state's public schools.

In late February, five finalists from the 2012 list of Honor Roll schools will be selected. From those five, one will be awarded the annual Riley Award, the announcement of which will take place at the SC-SIC Annual Conference in Columbia on March 24th.
