The Dorchester School District Four family is heartbroken to share the passing of former teacher Mr. Kevin Sorenson.

For over 15 years, Mr. Sorenson brought history to life for our students, most recently at St. George Middle School and Woodland Middle School. He was a passionate advocate for public education and for DD4, and he believed in what our schools and our students could accomplish.

Mr. Sorenson was loved by his students and deeply respected by the teachers and staff who worked alongside him. His impact will be felt for years to come in the lives of the many young people he taught and encouraged.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, as well as his former students and colleagues, during this difficult time. We hope they find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched.

A small celebration of life will be held on Monday, October 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. at McAlister-Smith Funeral Home, 869 St. James Avenue, Goose Creek, SC 29445.

We will always remember Mr. Sorenson for his kindness, his dedication, and his love for DD4. His legacy lives on in every student he inspired.
