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.

Senior Night
The Class of 2024 Senior Night will be held on Friday, May 17th at 6:30 pm in the AC Flora Competition Gym. ALL seniors and their parents are invited to this annual event that honors the senior class and their accomplishments.
At Senior Night, we will present many awards, honor student achievements, have multiple performances and speeches, hand out cords, stoles, and other graduation regalia, and seniors will receive gifts from AC Flora. Senior attire for this evening should be dressy casual (dress, suit, or nice shirt and pants). Ties are not required, but certainly not discouraged. This event will be nice, but not overly formal.
If you have any questions about Senior Night, please contact our Senior Class advisors, Ms. Dallas and/or Ms. Davis, at kathryn.dallas@richlandone.org and/or eleni.davis@richlandone.org.
We look forward to celebrating seniors!
