The District is pleased to announce that former Superintendent King Laurence will serve as Interim Principal at Redcliffe. Laurence retired in June 2024 after a distinguished 38-year career in education, including extensive leadership experience within Aiken County Public Schools.

A 1985 graduate of the University of South Carolina Aiken, Laurence holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Master’s in Educational Administration (1990) from the University of South Carolina. His leadership roles in the District have included Superintendent (2020–2024), Chief Officer of Administration and Human Resources (2016–2020), Associate Superintendent (2012–2016), Director of Federal Programs (2005–2012), and Principal (1998–2005). Before joining Aiken County, he served as a teacher and administrator in the Edgefield County School District.

“Stepping into this role at Redcliffe allows me to serve and hopefully to help the school and the community transition to new leadership,” Laurence stated. “The preparation for a new school year has always been one of the most exciting times for me. I am looking forward to that experience while building relationships in the Redcliffe community.”
