High Point Academy is helping all students develop world-class skills that match the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by continuously making strides to become the premier school in South Carolina. Our school provides a secure and safe environment serving over 1,200 students in kindergarten through twelfth-grades. At High Point Academy, our school mission is to build tomorrow’s leaders. We accomplish this through a community-centered school built on the principles of honor, integrity, and service with academic excellence, STEAM education, and project-based applied learning instruction. Through a partnership with family and community, each student will be challenged to achieve their highest potential academically, socially, and personally.
We work to recruit the finest teachers in the state and empower them to make the best decisions for our students. Our educators strive to expand their knowledge of effective instructional methods by attending year-round professional development. These programs help our teachers enhance our academic environment for all students. Combined with this continuing education our teachers love our students, challenge them to develop a strong moral compass, and find creative ways to reach each student individually, so they may reach their potential as life-long learners and successful community members.
As a school of choice, we pride ourselves in offering a program of learning that helps create the kind of school we all wished we had the opportunity to attend. Our students enjoy classes like piano, sign language, Spanish, chorus, theater, art, band, dance, robotics, physical education, weight training, STEAM, keyboarding, Driver’s Education, personal finance, and Dual Credit college courses both on and off-campus. Additionally, we have added 70 clubs that meet during the school day and after school. These clubs include NHS, Beta Club, Chess, Jazz, Video Game Design, Girls on the Run, Girls Wrestling, 4-H Pals, and many others. To graduate our students with a resume that is second to none, High Point Academy works to diligently provide job shadowing opportunities with local organizations and companies. These include Upstate Magazine, Swamp Rabbit Major League Hockey Team, Draexlmaier, SPIN, Access Health, H&R Block, Hub City Farmers Market, Spartanburg Regional, North Spartanburg Eye Center, Access Health, Tucker Associates, Hope Center for Children to list a few.
We believe our students are gifted and need only the opportunity to explore their gifts to develop the passions that will make them successful. When you pair our exceptional academic art classes with innovative classroom teachers, you begin to see why High Point Academy has a tremendous impact on our community and the families that call our school “home.”
Our school is excited to enrich the lives of the students and families who call High Point Academy their school of choice. We are honored to serve them and our community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brodie Bricker - Interim Superintendent
