“Our school is helping all of its students develop the world-class skills and life career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.” We accomplish this by promoting the skills necessary for students to experience success in the workforce as well as in post-secondary educational opportunities.
The 2023-2024 school year was an outstanding school year as we continued to advance the mission of Fox Creek High School by impacting our local community. Our students excelled in the classroom. Clubs and activities grew in number and school impact. Building projects resulted in additional facilities for our students and student athletes. The 2023-2024 school year was a year defined by growth.
The vocational programs at the school were expanded through the addition of Future Business Leaders of America. These students worked to start a program that would positively impact the school and the school was fortunate to have several local business partners. As our seniors looked ahead to life after high school, 100% of them applied to colleges and/or universities. Our students were exposed to college and career opportunities through an EdOps college fair that visits the school in October.
Our dual enrollment program has successfully completed its 12th year and continues to offer 42 hours of potential college credit. We offer a Teacher Cadet program, four History courses, four Math courses, including Calculus, two Biology courses, and two English courses. In addition to these 42 hours of credit, we also offered AP Environmental Science and AP Biology. The new year will see additional AP courses added.
Our fine arts department continues to excel. Our drama students held a spring play. They also traveled to a local college to compete in late spring. The band students performed at football games and to competed in traditional band competitions in the fall. The marching band qualified for the state competition for the fifth time in their competitive history.
Our faculty continues to develop professionally. Several of our educators have enrolled in advance degree programs and a few completed advanced degree programs in various post-graduate programs of study. As our educators advance themselves professionally, we are pleased to pass their success forward to our students in the form of additional programs.
We look forward to continued progress in the 2024-2025 school year. At Fox Creek High School the goal continues to be the success of all students. This is a goal that cannot be achieved without the continued support of faculty, staff, and board members. Though the past years have been challenging as a result of the pandemic, our students and faculty have proven that they are up to the task. We embrace the new school year as we look forward to many outstanding student successes!
