In addition, the duo were the recipients of the South Carolina Palmetto Silver Award for academic growth, moved two and three report card levels in one year, won the Palmetto State Arts Education Steam School of Excellence Award, and Teacher of the year. After experiencing tremendous academic growth, NWEA conducted a case study that is featured on their website.
