Graham: “Always do the right thing”

BENNETTSVILLE— In a spirited and heartfelt address at Marlboro County High School (MCHS), the school’s newly appointed head principal, Keydareon L. Graham, delivered an inspiring message of character and integrity to students, faculty and community members.

More than 100 individuals gathered today at the high school to welcome Graham and hear his inaugural speech. In the warm atmosphere of the event, he encouraged students to “always do the right thing,” a succinct yet powerful call that resonated deeply within the assembly .

Graham’s message, though brief, echoed fundamental values — responsibility, honesty, and ethical decision-making. Such ideals underpin the school’s broader mission to cultivate not only academic excellence but also moral leadership among its student body.

The Marlboro County School District welcomed Graham as the new high school principal approximately two weeks ago, according to a recent districtwide announcement . His appearance at the event marks a formal introduction to the school community and his emphasis on character offers a clear vision for his administration’s priorities moving forward.

While details of specific initiatives under his leadership have yet to emerge, principal transitions often bring promise of new strategies in student engagement, academic programs and school culture. Stakeholders will be watching closely as Graham settles into his role.

In his first public address, Graham set a tone rooted in moral responsibility — an ideal that, if upheld, could have meaningful impact on the lives of students and the school’s climate.

As this new chapter begins at Marlboro County High School, the community is invited to stand with Graham in fostering an environment where doing the right thing is not just encouraged, but celebrated.
