Barnwell County School District Announces 2025–2026 IT Apprentices

Barnwell County School District is excited to announce the selection of its IT Apprentices for the 2025–2026 school year. These students will support technology operations across the district while gaining valuable hands-on experience in the field of information technology.

The selected apprentices are:

  • Yug Patel – Williston Schools
  • Kimberly Cruz – Blackville Schools
  • Elijah Greene – Barnwell Schools 

IT Apprentices play an essential role in maintaining smooth technology operations across our schools. On a regular basis, they assist with:

  • Troubleshooting and resolving basic device and software issues for students and staff
  • Setting up, updating, and maintaining Chromebooks, laptops, tablets, and classroom technology
  • Supporting teachers with instructional technology needs
  • Assisting with network equipment checks and inventory management 
  • Learning best practices for cybersecurity, digital safety, and responsible technology use 

Through this apprenticeship program, students gain practical, hands-on experience that prepares them for future careers in information technology while helping ensure reliable technology access for our school communities. 

BCSD Superintendent Dr. Crissie Stapleton shared, “Our IT Apprenticeship program is an incredible opportunity for students to develop real-world skills while serving their school communities. We are proud of these students for stepping into leadership roles in technology, and we look forward to seeing the impact they will make across the district.”

Barnwell County School District looks forward to the contributions these talented
students will bring to their respective schools and to the BCSD technology team.
