The past year has been one like no other before, where our student body, faculty, and community continued to embrace and embodied our slogan, "We are Devildogs!" As a school, we continue to review academic data and adjust our curriculum and programs to meet the needs of every student. Additionally, our extra-curricular activities have expanded and have experienced significant success. Our fine arts department continues to win multiple state-level awards. The Theatre department had multiple accomplishments this year to include; Once Act Play- Superior, two students earning Superior Acting, and a Superior Solo. The Band program had twenty students that were selected for All-Region Band. Also, we had twenty students selected for All-County Band. In addition, the Band program had the following accomplishments; James F Byrnes Tournament of Champions Grand Champions, 2 nd place SCBDA Upper state competition, 4 th place SCBDA State Competition (highest place since 1978), three All-State students, superior with Distinction PDA, State Runner-up CBDA Winter guard, and Silver Medalist at CWEA Winter Guard Championships. Our Student Council demonstrated our strength in student leadership by raising money for charities during our December toy drive and Spirit Week during the second semester. Athletically, we continue to experience growth in our success, with multiple playoff berths, 5 region championships (Boy's and Girl's Swim, Boy's and Girl's Cross Country, Boys' Basketball, and Girls' Soccer, and eight all-state performers. As always, we maintain a commitment to continuous improvement. We study our school-wide data constantly and make the necessary adjustments to our instructional program. Looking forward to the 2023-2024 school year, we are making the required adjustment to maintain our quality educational program in the face of ongoing budget challenges. These are just a few of our accomplishments and efforts to ensure that Travelers Rest High School will continue to be the best possible school for our students.
