I recently became aware through my friend Marsha Griffin of Horry County’s Early College High School program. I have since been fascinated by this triumph of educational excellence right here in our state! The Mike Kelly Law Group recently participated in a fundraising event where over $100,000 was raised for this program. It involved a Putt-Putt competition where 43 teams participated. There were many sponsors of the event including the Mike Kelly Law Group. It was held within walking distance from our Myrtle Beach office at the Mt. Atlanticus Miniature Golf Course which has been a landmark in Downtown Myrtle Beach for 25 years. We had a great time, met lots of folks and most importantly, putted for a worthy cause! Although our team did not win, we did receive a super cool trophy from the Brighton building manager and a close personal friend, Marc Drake.

Two days after the event I was talking to a longtime friend in Myrtle Beach whose son at the age of 14 is enrolled in the program and loves it. I am thrilled to see innovation in education and the Early College High School is one of them!

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
