BRACK: Go the extra mile, do the extra work and exceed expectations

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | With hundreds of thousands of South Carolina students headed back to classrooms now, here’s hoping that it will be their best year ever, a year in which they exceed the expectations of their parents and teachers, a year in which they work harder to achieve excellence.
