Tom Thompson for Superintendant of Education

In three months, Tom Thompson rallied the support of many across the state in his bid to be his party’s nominee for state superintendent of education. While the votes fell short, he will continue his work to improve the quality of our state’s public schools.

There are many reasons why South Carolina voters should vote for Tom in today’s primary. He has shown what a class act he is and he has the ability to bring the pride back.

By voting tomorrow, we can all be part of improving South Carolina’s educational system and ensure a quality education for every child, every day. Each of our children deserves the best – let’s make it happen – let’s get it done!

Charleston’s Burke High School celebrates it 100 years this weekend, marking a historic milestone and reminding us of the strong bond that exists between schools and communities.

Tom shares his vision for improving our state’s education system and asks for your vote on Tuesday, June 8th.

Tom offers a response to teachers regarding his ideas and priorities for our public education. A direct reply would be that it’s time for a change.

The state’s SAT scores may be among the nation’s most improved, but the gap between student subgroups is widening.

Tom continues to be on the road listening carefully to the citizen’s concerns regarding our public schools.

Dr. Thompson will be spending much of this week continuing his efforts to seek the input from South Carolina citizens on such topics as school funding, school safety, quality of teaching, and adequacy of school facilities.

As our country pays tribute to our fallen heroes, let us remember the many reasons in which they gave their lives.
