The Rising Tide: Literacy in the Lowcountry

From the Premiere

The Rising Tide brought out a sold-out crowd at Charleston Music Hall, where educators, parents, and community leaders filled the room to see what’s possible when teachers get the training they were never given. The response was immediate: standing applause, a line of people waiting to talk about what they’d just watched, and a shared sense that this story needed to reach further than one night in one hall.

If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch it now.

Thank You To Our Host Committee

Behind every packed room and every powerful moment is a community willing to lead. The Rising Tide Host Committee represents educators, parents, business leaders, and advocates who used their voices, networks, and influence to help fill the Charleston Music Hall and elevate this conversation. Their leadership made it possible to gather the right people in the room—and to turn awareness into momentum. We are deeply grateful for each of these champions who stepped forward to ensure this story was seen, heard, and shared.
