Charleston County School District (CCSD) is excited to announce Fronde Stille is moving to the district level to become the new Director of Guidance and Counseling Services.
Stille has been with CCSD for nearly two decades, and comes to the Learning Services Division to the district offices at 75 Calhoun St. from Wando High School (WHS), where she has been a school counselor.

“The Student Support Services Department welcomes Fronde Stille to our team,” said Michele English-Watson, CCSD’s Associate of Student Support Services. “I believe that her skills, talents, and knowledge will contribute to the success of our students, schools, and the entire district.”
Throughout her 21 years of service, Stille’s accomplishments include earning her Global Career Development Facilitator certification, training as a Darkness to Light facilitator, obtaining her ESOL (English for Speaker of Other Languages) endorsement, and being name one of the finalists for the “Teacher of the Year” at Wando. Additionally, she has supervised school counseling interns, served as a CCSD School Counseling Mentor, and is trained as an ADEPT (Assisting, Developing, and Evaluating Professional Teaching) and SAFE-T (Summative ADEPT Formal Evaluation of Classroom-Based Teachers) evaluator.
