COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's public television station is featuring three schools awarded for their student achievement.
The monthly "In our Schools" television show on South Carolina ETV is highlighting Forest Acres Elementary in Pickens County, Calhoun County High School, and St. James Middle in Horry County on Sunday.
The first two received Palmetto Gold awards earlier this year. St. James received a Palmetto Silver award.
They are among the 403 public schools awarded $1,000 to $1,200 each for students' performance on standardized tests taken in spring 2008.
The awards program was created in 1998 to recognize academic achievement, improvement and the narrowing of achievement gaps among minority and poor students.
