Conway High, a school rich with pride and traditions, has a diverse population and serves as a hub for the Conway community. The 2017-18 school year focused on expanding programs that help students develop the 21st-century skills needed to be college and career ready. Our school helps all students develop the World Class Skills identified on the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by integrating technology in all academic areas and by implementing a STEM program that allows students to apply the skills needed to be successful in the global workforce.

While we know there is always room for improvement, Conway High is proud of the academic gains of our students. As achievement data indicates, this school year was a successful one. In US History and English I, over 70% of students had a passing score on end-of-course exams, and the passing rate in both areas increased from the previous year. We also experienced growth in our Advanced Placement (AP) program, which saw 64.5% of students qualify for college credit by scoring a 3 or higher on an AP exam. Furthermore, we celebrate a 100% passage rate in AP 2-Dimensional Art. Conway is also proud of the continued growth of our STEM program, a program that offers opportunities for students in Engineering, Sports Medicine, Biomedical Science, Veterinary Science and Pharmacy Technology, which had a 100% pass rate on the state certification exam during the 2017-18 school year.

Conway High School offers many extracurricular opportunities in athletics and the arts that help students grow into well-rounded adults. During the 2017-18 school year, our football, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball teams advanced to regional playoffs, and the football team won the regional championship title. In the fine arts, our students participated in theatre, band and visual art performances and competitions throughout the school year that culminated in the theatrical production of Les Miserables.
