It covered the eastern portion of the county, including Bamberg and Ehrhardt.[1]
History
Phyllis Schwarting was the superintendent until 2020.[2]
Around 2019, the state government of South Carolina offered money to small school districts willing to consolidate. A belief in these districts was that the state government could at some point force a consolidation and not give additional money to the forcibly merged districts. This prompted the merger of the Bamberg County districts.[3] In 2022 it merged with Bamberg School District Two to form Bamberg County School District.[4]
Schools
- Richard Carroll Elementary School:
- Previously Carroll Elementary had two campuses, A and B.[5]
- Bamberg-Ehrhardt Middle School
- Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School
The district previously operated Ehrhardt Elementary School.[6] In 2008, the Bamberg School District One sought to close Ehrhardt Elementary. Area residents considered filing a lawsuit and attempting to convert the school into a charter school.[7]
