Tomorrow will be a dress up day for Career Week! Come dressed up as your past or future career!
Mrs. Harper's 8th graders ended their Outsiders unit with a gallery walk of book covers! They had to analyze the images and show their symbolism to the book along with picking their favorite, most creative, and least favorite covers.
The South Carolina Junior Scholars program identifies current eighth-grade students with
exceptional academic talent. These students are selected based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT. Our school had 22 students who either made a 550 or higher on the reading/writing section and/or a 530 or above on the math portion. This is a huge honor! Congratulations to:

Yesterday 7th grade traveled to Roper Mountain Science Center! They saw shows on Ecology and Chemistry!
To kick off National Career Development Week, our students came dressed for their future—ready for job interviews, important meetings, and college visits!
Today was also about building self-confidence, leadership, and the mindset for success!
We are so proud of our students for showing that there is so much more to success than just the outfit; it’s about believing in yourself and dreaming big! 💙🩶🐺
Students from Mrs. Ohler’s 7th & 8th grade choir classes had the opportunity to attend a choral clinic at Converse University with 15 other schools from Spartanburg and Greenville. The sopranos & altos were able to work with Katie Hardwick (choral director at Cane Bay High School) and the tenors & basses worked with Dr. Andrew Huish (director of choral activities at Bob Jones University). The day included a lot of singing, games, a fun lunch break, and a performance/college talk from students at Converse. We ended with a concert for parents to show everything we had learned that day.
6th Grade Orchestra did a fantastic job at their first ever concert last week! They played at the Fine Arts Center alongside 6th grade students from the other D5 middle schools.
Let's celebrate our 8th grade Leaders of the Pack for October! These students are picked monthly by their teachers for showcasing their best wolfpack traits. Keep up the good work, 8th graders!

What an awesome morning for 17 of our 8th graders! They joined Mrs. Charles, Mrs. Holzman, and Mr. Anderson for a tour of the BMW Training Center and had the opportunity to connect with local business vendors and colleges. Our students asked thoughtful questions and we are so proud of the way they represented our school! One student shared, “This has been my favorite field trip! Best day ever!”
Mrs. Kay’s ELA classes created figurative language posters based on a fall image. Next, the classes will trade posters and test their knowledge by identifying the figurative language used.
Ms. Wagaman's classes used various types of candy to build their own animal cells. Vanilla frosting represented the cytoplasm. Pull ‘n’ peel twizzlers represented the cell membrane. Frooties represented the endoplasmic reticulum. Nerds represented the ribosomes. Mini m&ms represented the mitochondria. A satellite wafer represented the nucleus. A hello panda cookie represented the lysosome. Students had a blast and shared that this activity really helped solidify the organelles and their functions in their minds!
We launched our very first in-house mentoring program Friday; Leading the Pack! We are so proud of this group and excited to see them work toward their goals this month!
Who says writing can’t be fun? ✍️
Students in Mrs. Bo’s ELA class took collaboration to a new level by writing right on their tables! They loved brainstorming and planning their writing together in this creative, hands-on way.
The last few days of red ribbon week have been a blast! Today we ended with pajamas because we "dream of a drug free school"!
Join us in teaming up to help our friends fighting cancer on November 6th! Please bring cash!
