episode Bill Robinson | Midlands Middle College cover

Bill Robinson | Midlands Middle College

There are schools that hand students a diploma, and then there are schools that hand students a head start. In this episode of Kids First, host Keven Cohen and Superintendent Chris Neeley sit down with Bill Robinson, principal of Midlands Middle College, to explore what happens when a high school is built directly on a college campus. Housed on the Midlands Tech Airport Campus, this small but mighty public charter school gives students access to the full range of dual enrollment offerings that most high schools could only dream of, from trade certifications in welding and HVAC to college coursework that can have a student walking off the graduation stage already ahead of their peers. The conversation gets into what makes Midlands Middle College the right fit, including a 10 to 4 school day, class sizes that never exceed 16 students, and a culture where every student is known by name. Bill, Chris, and Keven also dig into the real financial relief dual enrollment can offer families and what the future could look like if local businesses began partnering with schools like this one to build workforce pipelines from the ground up. It is a genuinely exciting look at what school choice can make possible. 🔗 Learn more: MidlandsMiddleCollege.com ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Legislative Wins for South Carolina Charter Schools cover

Legislative Wins for South Carolina Charter Schools

There are moments when the work happening behind the scenes finally steps into the spotlight, and this episode of Kids First is one of them. Host Keven Cohen sits down with South Carolina Public Charter School District Superintendent Chris Neeley to break down a legislative session that delivered some meaningful wins for charter schools, students, and taxpayers across the state. From a landmark accountability bill seven years in the making to sweeping changes in how the South Carolina High School League is governed, the conversation covers ground that affects every family with a child in a public school. The discussion also takes on one of the more thought-provoking policy shifts to come out of this session, the elimination of grade floors in South Carolina schools. No more automatic 50s for unfinished work. No more cushion for missing assignments. Just a return to the idea that grades should reflect what a student actually earns. Keven and Chris bring their signature passion and candor to all of it, making the case that accountability is not a burden; it is the foundation on which everything else is built. 🔗 Learn more: sccharter.org ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

There is something special about a school that feels like home from the very first day.

The episode also honors a well-deserved milestone as 6th and 7th-grade ELA teacher Anna Hart is named the South Carolina Public Charter School District Teacher of the Year for 2026-27, selected by the students, parents, and colleagues who know her best. Year two promises to be even more extraordinary. With a stunning new campus set for a ribbon-cutting on June 5th, enrollment expanding, and new programs like music, art, band, and Spanish joining the lineup, Greer Prep is building something truly lasting. Tune in to hear how Principal Davis and her team are growing a school where every child is known, every teacher is celebrated, and the best is yet to come. 🔗 Learn more: https://greerprepacademy.org/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Josh Trahan | Fox Creek High School

There is something deeply moving about walking into a school and immediately feeling like you belong. In this episode of the Kids First podcast, host Keven Cohen and Superintendent Chris Neeley sit down with Josh Trahan, Executive Director of Fox Creek High School in North Augusta, to celebrate what they call the Fox Creek Way. Since opening their doors in 2004 with just 98 students, Fox Creek has grown into a thriving community of over 700 young people, all supported by a culture built on belonging, holistic growth, and helping every student find their voice. Josh shares how the school meets each child exactly where they are, whether their path leads to college, the military, or straight into the workforce. The conversation also touches on an exciting new chapter for Fox Creek as they prepare to open a brand new middle school, giving even more families the opportunity to experience this special culture from a younger age. From active clubs and arts programs to a dedicated athletic program, this episode is a beautiful reminder that school choice is not just about academics. It is about giving every child the space to discover who they are meant to be.

episode Todd Helms | Mountain View Preparatory cover

Todd Helms | Mountain View Preparatory

On this episode of Kids First, Keven Cohen welcomes Todd Helms, a retired Army colonel, passionate education leader, and founder of Mountain View Preparatory, who has helped launch seven charter schools across South Carolina. Todd shares his inspiring journey from recovering from a deployment injury while reading "The Blind Side" to accidentally writing a business plan that became Gray Military Academy. This postgrad prep school gave second chances to students who needed help getting academically eligible for college. With legendary coaches like Willie Jeffries, Jim Carlin, and Danny Ford on his advisory board, Todd's first school became a launching pad for what would grow into a network of high-performing charter schools, including Gray Collegiate, Oceanside Collegiate, Legion Collegiate, Atlantic Collegiate, and Mountain View Prep, with Marina Vista Prep currently in development. Todd credits his passion for education to his experience as a father of five, a grandfather of three, and a former school board member in Lexington District 2, emphasizing that it all began with a men's Bible study and a commitment to putting students first. 🔗 Learn more: https://www.mvpstars.org/ [https://www.mvpstars.org/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
