Leading South Carolina Schools

The South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA) is the preeminent professional organization for public education leaders in South Carolina, with a membership of more than 5,200 educators across the State. SCASA members include assistant principals, principals, district leaders, district superintendents, retired school leaders, and college of education deans.

SCASA’s 28 roundtable groups each meet multiple times throughout the year and serve as collaborative forums where school leaders can share insights, discuss emerging issues, receive updates from relevant organizations, and exchange best practices with their counterparts from other South Carolina school districts. SCASA’s Seminar Series offers in-depth discussions on topics relevant to all school leaders and provides resources to promote innovative and effective leadership practices. The Center for Executive Education Leadership (CEEL) provides comprehensive, research-informed programming for education leader development and support. The content challenges cohorts of participants to learn from each other as they identify and master skills needed to engage faculty and staff and impact student achievement. Participants are provided an opportunity for development relevant to growth in their current position and in preparation for higher levels of responsibility.

SCASA provides a unified voice for school leaders at the State House. With our full-time lobbying team, we are there each day the legislature meets to monitor debate, provide testimony, and speak personally with legislators on the issues that are important to public education.
