ABOUT MR. THOMPSON

I am a proud product of the Edgefield County School District in small town Edgefield, SC. My high school sweetheart and I now live in Hartsville; it has been a joy living in another small town and serving in Darlington. Rural schools have such incredible potential and I am privileged to be here at DMS.

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Clemson University in 2016 and earned a Master of Education degree from Francis Marion University in 2017. Currently, I am pursuing a second Master's in Educational Administration at the University of South Carolina.

We will work together as a team this year to ensure that our students are being as successful as they can be. My philosophy of education is described in this famous quote: "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinking that it is stupid." Each of our students are unique and I look forward to working with you to ensure they have everything required to grow throughout our time together.

We will work hard this year, but we will also have a good time and build strong relationships with each other. This is going to be an EXCEPTIONAL year!
