Leadership is changing in Anderson School District 1. We said goodbye to Robbie Binnicker and rolled out the welcome mat for Dr. Seth Young, the new superintendent taking the reins this summer. Robbie's legacy, marked by resilience through pandemic hurdles and the fruition of a major school expansion, is celebrated with the same vigor as the anticipation for Dr. Young's vision. Through laughter and earnest reflection, Robbie shares the next chapter of his life—retirement by Charleston's serene beaches and his son's high school graduation—while Dr. Young recounts his ascension from math teacher to superintendent, underscoring the district's nurturing environment for professional growth.We reconnected with Zach to dissect the latest from WrestleMania, ponder over Clemson basketball, and debate the hottest topics from the baseball diamond, including the MLB's style-savvy City Connect jerseys. Finally, we cap it off with a foray into personal tastes and preferences, diving into a series of 'this or that' challenges that peel back the layers of our guests’ personalities. Which will it be—podcasts or playlists, swimming pool or beach? Their choices are more than mere preferences; they’re a window into the culture and character of the people who shape our schools and our communities. From Robbie's teased shrimp and grits recipe to Dr. Young's tech leanings, each answer reveals the human side of our education leaders and closes the episode on a note as light-hearted as it is enlightening.
