Make-Up Picture Day for Underclassmen is coming up on Tuesday, September 16. Mark your calendars and bring your best smile!
✨ Creativity is ALIVE in Crescent’s Social Studies Department! ✨
From AP Human Geography to World History, our students are learning in unforgettable ways:
🌍 AP Human Geography: Students designed country profiles and took part in a mock “speed dating” session to find the perfect international match.
🍼 Psychology: Future parents in training! Students cared for “egg babies” for a week to explore parenting styles and environmental influences.
🚢 World History: Budding historians created profile pages for European explorers—complete with portraits, fun facts, and perfectly placed “location tags” on a giant wall display.
Hands-on learning, creativity, and critical thinking—this is Social Studies at Crescent! 💡📚

Crescent's After-School Program, Tiger Territory, kicks off next Tuesday, September 16! If your child needs support, please reach out to your child's teacher(s) or the front office to sign them up. If bus transportation is needed, please let us know prior to the student attending. We are excited to see our students grow and meet academic goals within the program!
✨ Crescent High School hosted its annual College Fair this week, welcoming representatives from 45 colleges and universities! ✨
Our juniors and seniors had the chance to explore future opportunities—learning about programs, campus life, tuition, and locations. The excitement and curiosity they brought to the fair truly showcased their bright futures ahead. 💫
And of course… they enjoyed picking up some swag from their potential future schools! 🎓💙
Anderson 3 is proud to partner with local emergency services for our annual school safety walkthroughs. Representatives from Anderson County Emergency Management, Anderson County Fire, including surrounding volunteer fire stations, Anderson County EMS, Iva Police Department, and Anderson County Technical Services, toured our campuses this week with district leaders. Together, they reviewed changes, noted strengths, and identified ways to further strengthen our crisis plans and safety measures. 🚓🚑🚒
What makes Anderson 3 unique is our commitment to inviting emergency personnel into our schools to provide direct feedback on our procedures. This collaboration has become a yearly practice and continues to shape how we refine and improve safety across the district.
This year’s walkthrough highlighted the addition of even more safety cameras, fencing, equipment and other improvements. Dr. Nixon, Deputy Superintendent, mentioned this year's application for state Building Safety Grant Funds included ballistic film for exterior windows and doors.
We are grateful for the expertise and dedication of our community partners as we work together to keep our students and staff safe. 🏫🔒

In this lab, Dr. Kostik cooked up some serious science fun by having her students dive into the wild world of enzymes — straight from a chicken liver! The challenge? See how these hardworking enzymes react when the heat (or cold!) is on. Students got a front-row seat to the breakdown in real time, watching how temperature can shake up enzyme reactions. It was hands-on, fast-paced, and just a liver-bit messy — but the students were absolutely liver’ing their best science lives!
Congratulations to Dr. Caci Kostik on earning her Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Curriculum and Instruction from Capella University! 🎓👏 🥼
Dr. Kostik, who has taught Science at Crescent High School for six years (and has nine years of experience in education), completed her dissertation on using AI to differentiate instruction and assessments. Her research reflects her passion for innovation and her commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences for all students.
We are proud to celebrate this incredible accomplishment with her! 🐯💛
