Students assembled in the Sonoco Gymnasium upon arrival and were greeted by Ed Hoffman, Head of School, and Kelley Byrd, Associate Head of School.
School Chaplain Laci Jones shared a short devotion and asked a blessing over the school community and school year.

Advisory groups facilitate the school’s Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program and foster personal relationships for new students as well as strengthening bonds for returning students and faculty.

In addition to a rigorous academic curriculum that includes 21 AP classes and dual credit courses through Coker University, the school emphasizes a personalized approach to education, a strong sense of community and multiple opportunities for students to develop their talents and leadership skills.
“Our tremendous growth is due to our superior academic program and college acceptance rate, said Hoffman.
