Bamberg County School District (BCSD) is a school district headquartered in Denmark, South Carolina.[1] It includes all of Bamberg County.[2]
History
editThe district was established in 2022 as a merger of Bamberg School District One and Bamberg School District Two.[3] Circa 2019 the state government of South Carolina offered money to small school districts willing to consolidate. A belief in these districts was that the state government could at another point force a consolidation and not give additional money to the forcibly merged districts. This prompted the merger of the Bamberg County districts.[4]
Schools
editHigh schools:
Middle schools:
- Bamberg-Ehrhardt Middle School

The Denmark-Olar schools had been co-located, after an expansion of the high school campus, since circa 2019.[4]
