Let's meet and learn about locals who are making a huge difference in the community.

Janice Malone, Principal Sanders-Clyde Creative Arts Elementary, Rev Dr Robert Reid, Pastor, Mt Carmel AME Church, Arthur Lawrence, Public Servant, Harriet Holman, Dorchester County Council, Raphael James, News Anchor, WCSC TV, Beverly Gadson-Birch, Civil Rights Activist, Judge Daniel Martin, Public Servant, Rong Zhou, Community Generosity Honoree, and Darryl Ray Griffin, Generosity Honoree.
Janice Malone is a Charleston native and graduate of Burke High School. Mrs. Malone has been a teacher for 38 years and served as Assistant Principle for two years. She has turned around three Title One schools in Charleston, receiving high honors and was named Elementary Star Principle of CCSD in 2012. She serves as the principle of Sanders-Clyde Creative Arts Elementary and her feeder system proposal, D20PCP, was funded by ESSER and aims to support families to better support students. She stands by her premise of "We don't pity, we empower our scholars!" We will feature each of the North Star recipients this month.
Thank you Maurice Washington and the committee team for putting on such a great event to recognize those giving so much to their community.
