| Ellen Weaver was elected as South Carolina's 19th State Superintendent of Education on November 9th, 2022. Born in Greenville, Ellen has spent her career as a passionate advocate for educational excellence and opportunity for every student in her beloved home state. A former homeschooler, Ellen earned her B.A. in Political Science, as well as a Master's in Educational Leadership, from Bob Jones University. After graduation, she worked in Senator Jim DeMint's office for 12 years, and then founded Palmetto Promise Institute, a leading state public policy organization, in 2013. As President of Palmetto Promise, Ellen worked tirelessly to improve the lives of her fellow-South Carolinians, with a specialized focus on education policy. Ellen approaches education policy in South Carolina with a great respect for parental rights -- and for recognizing the vital role that parents play in their children's education. She has been at the forefront of expanding learning opportunities for those who want alternatives to traditional public schools -- and of protecting those who homeschool their children. |
