History

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2024)

Phyllis Schwarting was superintendent until 2020.

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. In 2022 it merged with Bamberg School District Two to form Bamberg County School District.

Schools

  • Richard Carroll Elementary School
    • Previously Carroll Elementary had two campuses, A and B.
  • Bamberg-Ehrhardt Middle School
  • Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School

It formerly operated Ehrhardt Elementary School. In 2008 the Bamberg 1 district sought to close Ehrhardt Elementary. Area residents considered filing a lawsuit and attempting to convert the school into a charter school.
