I AM NEWBERRY HIGH
From the Principal:
Dear Bulldogs,
Welcome to semester two of the 2023-2024 school year! The spring semester always flies by, so
buckle up and work hard to finish strong. In this Bulldog Monthly, we will discuss College and
Career Readiness. On the 2022-2023 South Carolina State Report Card, Newberry High School earned
13.44 out of 25 possible points for College and/or Career Readiness. Points are awarded for the
percentage of graduating students who are deemed College and/or Career Ready. Last year 53.8% of
our graduates fell in this category. Our goal for the 2023-2024 school year is to increase this
number to 65%. NHS has numerous practices in place to reach all students and offer more
opportunities for students to become College and/or Career Ready.
These include:
WIN Wednesday (focus on WIN Work Readiness curriculum and testing preparation) Internship
opportunities
Collaboration with the Newberry County Career Center Dual Enrollment with Piedmont Technical
College SAT/ACT on campus for all juniors
AP courses on campus and collaborative courses with MCHS
Newberry High School will continue to strive to ensure that all of our students are prepared for
their post-secondary endeavors. Being deemed as College and/or Career Ready creates a solid
foundation for our graduates and future leaders. We look forward to continuing to work with our
parents, guardians, and community members to support our Bulldogs in all areas of education.
Sincerely,
Sarah E. Harvey, Principal
