The Coastal Carolina Fair opens today at 3:00 p.m.! 🎡🐄

Be sure to stop by the Animal Barn, operated by Dorchester County FFA, and pick up a couple of raffle tickets while you’re there. All proceeds benefit local FFA chapters. It's a great way to support local students while enjoying the fair!

Dave Walker lost his 20-year-old daughter, Annie. Greg Swan lost his 24-year-old son, Drew. Don Holman lost his son, Garrett. During Red Ribbon Week, they shared their children’s stories with DCCTC students to help prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak.

Fentanyl Fathers first-ever South Carolina school visit brought eight powerful presentations over two days to our Summerville campus, helping students understand the dangers of illicit fentanyl and how one decision can change a life forever.

Thank you to these courageous fathers, DEA Special Agent in Charge Bill Johnston, and DCCTC school counselor Breeyanna Greene for bringing this message to our students.

This is what it's all about! Two years ago, we interviewed Darius Melton when he completed the DCCTC Law Enforcement program. Two days ago, he was sworn in as a new firefighter for the Town of Moncks Corner

Here's what Darius shared when he was still a student with us, "“I’ve always wanted to be some kind of first responder, so I decided to try the Law Enforcement class at DCCTC. I really like it. We have amazing real-life opportunities here and I got to represent DCCTC at the SkillsUSA state competition last month where I won a gold medal."

Congratulations, Darius. We're proud of you!

Even Officer G got in on the action!

Did you know Dorchester County FFA manages the Animal Barn at the Coastal Carolina Fair? It’s a HUGE job, but thanks to dedicated teachers like Ms. Attaway and Ms. Leonard and FFA leaders like Ryan Seunanden, fairgoers get a chance to learn all about agriculture in South Carolina! What a great way to share their knowledge and passion for agriculture with our community!
