In this episode of Kids First Radio on 100.7 The Point, host Keven Cohen and South Carolina Public Charter School District Superintendent Chris Neeley sit down with Dr. Jerome Reyes, president of Butler Academy in Hartsville. Dr. Reyes shares the inspiring story of how Butler Academy opened its doors in 2020 during the pandemic, driven by a mission to deliver whole-child development, academic excellence, and social-emotional growth to students, with a clear vision to expand to a full K–12 program by 2028.
From creating a collegiate culture where even the youngest students dream big to forging powerful partnerships that allow rising ninth graders to earn college credits early, Butler Academy is redefining what's possible for students and families. Tune in to hear how one school is removing barriers, building equity, and transforming its community — and why Dr. Reyes believes this model is just getting started.
