Academics - Guidance

Career development is an ongoing process of gaining knowledge and improving skills that will help an individual to establish a career plan. The Career Specialist, Bryan Burnett, works to help students begin the career process of learning about themselves and different careers. Career tests, job shadowing, career fairs, and 7Connects are all utilized. 7Connects is a monthly program that brings local careers and businesses to talk with students in the front atrium during lunch. The Career Specialist also assists guidance in preparing Individual Graduation Plans (IGPs) for each student.

Uniform Grading Policy

South Carolina has adopted a Uniform Grading Policy that went into effect in the 2000-2001 school year. The purpose of the grading policy is to standardize grading for all courses that earn Carnegie units in South Carolina schools, including a middle/junior high school. The LIFE Scholarship requires that a student maintain a "B" average.
Uniform Grading Policy Chart.pdf

  • Odyssey and Honors Course are weighted the same
    ** Advanced Placement courses are only at Spartanburg High School
    I Incomplete: student work must be completed within 10 school days.
    FA Failure due to excessive absences. (A "62 average" is used in computing GPR)
    W Withdrew: dropped from course or transferred to another school.
    Class rank will be computed based on all Carnegie units taken including those taken at the junior high level.

Requesting a Transcript

Transcripts can be requested from Mrs. Terri Wood in the Records Office between the hours of 7:45 am and 3:30 pm.

If classes need to be changed after this point students will fill out a Request to Change form and meet with their Guidance Counselor to discuss any necessary changes. Changes MUST be made within the first 5 days of the semester. Failure to make a change within the first 5 days will result in a "F."
