These course offerings provide a rigorous curriculum to challenge students and provide them with skills needed to advance their interests and passion into college and the careers of the 21st century. Our school focuses on literacy and writing skills to promote higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills. Teachers utilize a variety of interactive strategies to maximize student engagement and students learning. Our teachers work diligently to ensure all students have the opportunity to discuss their progress toward our school goals. Students and parents have the opportunity to discuss their progress toward graduation and career goals as they create their Individual Graduation Plans. As they formulate this plan each year, students and parents are given invaluable information about careers, college requirements, and course offerings to assist them in preparing for their future. Cheraw High offers a number of extra-curricular opportunities to empower students to learn more about teamwork, interpersonal skills, work ethic, and perseverance. Some of these opportunities include sports, clubs, band, and service learning. These opportunities are important as students learn about their community, our world, and how to make a difference. Our school is involved in a number of projects including Relay for Life, blood drives, Adopt-a-Highway, and many more. These projects are beneficial to our students as they grow and mature into responsible citizens. Each year presents its share of opportunities, challenges, and achievements. As we work with all stakeholders, we will continue to improve, explore ways to improve, and take the lead in preparing all students for their respective futures.
