Class of 2024 Palmetto Fellows:
The Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Late Awarding Period for seniors has begun and continues until June 30, 2024. Students participating in the June SAT or ACT test should notify Ms. Porter ASAP. Ms. Porter will submit application packets for students testing in June and ALL PAPERWORK must be completed before leaving graduation practice. It is the student’s responsibility to send their test scores directly to the S.C. Commission on Higher Education (CHE). CHE’s SAT registration code is 4313 and the ACT registration code is 6326. The CHE will process pending applications and determine finally eligibility once test scores are received.

Ordering your final transcript:
All graduates are encouraged to order their FINAL TRANSCRIPT after the 23-24 school year grades have been finalized. All transcripts MUST be ordered through Parchment. Transcripts will not be shared through any other process.
SENIORS…your transcripts must be ordered by June 17, 2024, to ensure your transcript is sent to your selected college/university before Ms. Porter leaves for summer break.
JUNIORS…you need to order a copy of your transcript in order to begin the college application process in August. Colleges will ask you for the information on your transcript when you apply, and some may ask you to upload a copy, so please make sure this is part of your “to do” list.
Click here for directions for ordering your transcript through Parchment. Follow these directions to make sure your transcript is requested correctly.
Class of 2025:
We are excited to offer an opportunity to our rising seniors for the 2024 – 2025 school year. Seniors can take advantage of an additional late start/early dismissal opportunity. With the addition of our Flight Time period each day, students receive the 200 minutes required by state law to meet the qualifications of a full-time student. This means that some* rising seniors may be able to add additional late start or early release periods to their senior course requests.
This change will alter our senior scheduling needs. Please remember to return this form no later than Tuesday, May 28, so your student’s counselor can review credits and make sure your student is on track for graduating in the spring of 2025.
*This does not include rising IB seniors.
