Mount Pleasant Magazine July/August 2019

59 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestOfMP.com feature F or 21 years, Sully Witte was a voice for Mount Pleasant residents through the Moultrie News . The Mount Pleasant native has lived here all her life, save for a few years away to get her degree. She started as a beat reporter before working her way up to editor. “ The Moultrie News is a great service to the community — it really brought me joy to work there,” she beamed. Today, as communications officer for Charleston County School District, she continues her career in a similar vein. Witte writes feature stories about the district’s 80-plus schools and their employees and shares the news in-house or with media. “To be in the world of education and be of service to these students … to celebrate what educators do and the successes of the teachers and the district … it makes me so proud to do this.” Though Mount Pleasant has grown — often controversially — from the sleepy town it was when she was a child, Witte is grateful to raise her own daughter here. “Yes, it’s grown, and it’s changed, but I see the positive: It’s still beautiful. The people are beautiful, and, for the most part, they are kind and welcoming.” . .I l . | . f . Photo by Jess Wood.
