The Palmetto Heritage programs have been created using the dramatizations produced as part of The Palmetto Special series. Events, people and places that shaped our state’s history are shared through updated introduction segments with two young-adult hosts interwoven with re-purposed dramatizations that tell many of South Carolina’s important stories.
Produced by South Carolina Department of Education and ETV, these can be used as a resource in the study of South Carolina history on middle and high school grade levels. Please make sure your 8th grade South Carolina History teachers know about this resource! Some segments can also support elementary-grade level social studies curriculum.
