Abstract	This paper outlines the logistics and discusses the benefits of the Professional Development School (PDS) partnership between Sandhills Middle School (SMS) in Lexington School District Four and the University of South Carolina (USC). Through this partnership as well as the University of South Carolina's Center for Excellence, teachers at Sandhills Middle are given opportunities to take graduate level courses to obtain their Project-Based Learning (PBL) Endorsement and additional credits. These opportunities for professional development align with the National Association for Professional Development Schools (NAPDS) Nine Essentials (2008). This PDS partnership benefits not only individual teachers and students but Sandhills Middle as a whole, and as a result, teachers, especially new teachers, are provided with the support they need. By fostering continuous professional development as outlined in Essential 3 as well as innovate, reflective teaching practices as outlined in Essential 4, teachers at Sandhills Middle School are able to achieve their core values of growth, service, and innovation, placing students at the forefront of their learning and decisions. (As Provided).
