The mission of Waccamaw Intermediate School is to provide a safe, nurturing environment rich with diverse learning experiences that empower all students to become caring, productive lifelong learners in an ever-evolving global and technological society. This mission is what makes Waccamaw Intermediate such a warm, welcoming, and student-centered place to learn and grow.

At WIS, we hold high expectations for every child. Our teachers follow the state curriculum across all subject areas and work in close partnership with administration to analyze data and support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. Student growth is not just a goal; it is an expectation. Through differentiated instruction, teachers provide targeted support to meet students at their level. Daily learning is enhanced with current technology, including one-to-one Chromebooks, smart boards, and a variety of instructional tools. We also take pride in our character education program, which celebrates and rewards students for positive behavior. These efforts are reflected in both our academic performance and our positive school climate.

Our students are also encouraged to explore their interests and talents through extracurricular programs such as Band, Steel Drum Band, Chorus, Art Enrichment, First Tee Golf, Girls on the Run, STEM Club, and school drama productions.

Parent and community support at WIS is truly exceptional. Our PTO, along with other family and community members, plays a vital role in enriching our school. Their generous contributions of time, talents, and resources have provided valuable classroom materials, new playground equipment, and helped fund engaging events and learning opportunities for students.

At Waccamaw Intermediate School, we are proud to be G.A.T.O.R.S.—Growing an Achieving, Thoughtful, Optimistic, and Respectful School community.

Warm regards,
Travis Klatka, Principal
