Day 3 - Indian Land Middle School 8th Grade Tours
It was our final day for hosting the 8th graders and sharing about our programs!
Day 2 - Indian Land Middle School 8th Grade Tours
The halls were filled with excitement as tours continued for the 8th graders from ILMS.
Today was day 1 of Indian Land Middle School 8th grade tours! The students were able to visit 10 different pathways, where they learned more about careers and opportunities available to them! All of these programs will be available to them as 9th graders next year!
We look forward to 2 more days of ILMS 8th graders visiting us!

Huge shout out to the SC National Guard! They came through big time for the Career Center at the last minute on a Friday! These guys got the call about the Career Center on Thursday night and got a plan together to spend the day with our students on Friday. We appreciate everything they do for our school, our students, and our state! Help us show them some appreciation!
Students have been working on developing leadership skills through John Maxwell's iLead program. On November 30, students completed Unit 1 which included lessons on choices, growth, attitude, and commitment.
Students and staff made the best of a bad situation when they were displaced from the Career Center on Friday, December 1 due to a fire. Everyone spent the day in the multipurpose building where the SC National Guard had games and an obstacle course set up. Some students used the time to catch up on assignments, while others enjoyed the fun activities. Thank you to the students for being flexible and well-behaved on this out of the ordinary day. Also, thank you to the SC National Guard for all they did!
When emergencies happen, it's important to be prepared! That's exactly how the Culinary Arts classes approached today! They were able to try some MREs, which were also made available by the SC National Guard. When asked if this was the original plan for today, Chef Hawkes was quoted as saying "originally planned to have the intro students work on Yielding with fruits, level 1's prepping for two lunches next week and level 2's studying for the ServSafe Manager certification." We believe it is important to show students how to respond to unexpected changes because that is real life!
