Broome High School is helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by ensuring that they are exposed to the four Cs - critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Whether in academics, athletics, fine arts or community service, our students, teachers, administrators, Board of Trustees and our community worked together to continue to create a unified culture of excellence. With our students at the center of all that we do, we have embraced our guiding principle of “ALL IN. Every Child, Every Day- Whatever It Takes”.
Broome High School experienced another year of growth and success during the 2020-2021 school year. Tyler Crosby was recognized as our teacher of the year. With the implementation of AVID we introduced these strategies: Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading (WICOR). Broome High School is the only high school in Spartanburg County to implement the AVID program. We continue to focus on increased rigor at BHS by adding additional AP courses and increasing the number of students taking AP courses.
The Class of 2021 earned over $6 million in scholarship awards. Broome High School students earned credit in college level courses through Advanced Placement and Dual Credit. Broome students also attend Daniel Morgan Technology Center (DMTC) where they are able to earn industry certifications and college credit. Participation in a rigorous curriculum ensures that our students are College and Career Ready.
Other successes this year include: increased numbers of mentors working with our students, we earned Distinguished Unit for our JROTC program, increased athletic participation, region championships, district championship, band awards and chorus awards.
Community Service is very important to Broome students and staff. We were recognized for our service activities. Our school participated in many projects including: flood relief efforts, food pantry donations, Christmas Child sponsorships, Relay for Life and The United Way.
Broome staff, students and SIC worked together to achieve a major initiative for the 19-20 school year called "Centurions Connect." This program was implemented during our lunch hour each day. Students were given the opportunity to get extra help, make up assignments, participate in clubs and other activities during their lunch hour each day. Centurions Connect and AVID initiatives increased student engagement, increased student achievement and helped improve our graduation rate.
Broome High School is synonymous with excellence. We seek to be ever-changing and ever-improving in order to meet the needs of all students.
