Marsh Restoration Project
Thanks to our partnership with the South Carolina DNR, E.L. Frierson Scholars get to roll up their sleeves and dive into real coastal conservation! Students plant spartina grass and set up oyster cages at Cherry Point Landing on Wadmalaw Island—just minutes from campus. It’s always a fun, muddy, and memorable experience for our kids.

We must see the child from the point of the future person. We must understand that it is a human right that the child should grow in the right way because the person will grow from the child in a few years.
Maria Montessori
Frierson is a small school with a big heart. I’m so grateful to be part of this community — watching our students grow, create, learn, and laugh together. Frierson is home to me.
