The South Carolina Department of Education made its new logo public July 8th, 2024. State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver commented, “This beautiful logo represents our historic roots, a vision for our shared future, and the hope that we know is found in a great education. “When that hope propels us to work hard together towards success for every student, the sky’s the limit. South Carolina’s education future is bright!”
The new logo features the Palmetto Tree sitting atop an open book with the year 1868 below against a deep blue back ground. This is surrounded by a circular white background band with South Carolina Department of Education written within the band. According to the SCDE, the Palmetto tree is representative of South Carolina’s “strong resilience and relentless hope.” The tree is rooted into the book beneath it “highlighting education as the essential foundation of South Carolina’s economic, cultural, and civic future. The year 1868 refers to the founding of the SCDE.
