Guidance Availability

In an effort to provide streamlined access to Mauldin High School's counseling and support resources, counselors created an eLearning website. Features of this site include: virtual IGP information, registration process instructions, grade-level tasks and assignments, social/emotional resources, crisis management support, and more. View the Guidance eLearning website for more information.

Quarter 3 Report Cards

Quarter 3 report cards will be available 3/27. Parents should check backpack (formerly Portal) in lieu of a traditional report card.

Chromebook Repairs

Beginning Monday (3/23), students may deliver broken Chromebooks to the nearest Career Center (Golden Strip for MHS students) between 7:30-5:30 Monday -Thursday. Staff at those locations will swap out the defective device for a refurbished device. Teachers and students should call into HELPDESK (355-4357) for technical assistance.

Update Regarding Prom 2020

We have received several questions regarding our Prom, which is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd. The district is closely monitoring the executive order from Governor McMaster and how that order may impact our ability to hold the Prom. The Mauldin High School Prom Committee has made the decision not to cancel Prom at this time in the hopes that some of the current restrictions from the executive order are relaxed before May 2nd. We will notify you immediately if we get additional information. We will make a final decision about Prom no later than Monday, April 20th, to help you with your planning.
Thank you for your patience as we monitor the impact of COVID-19.

Meal Pick Up

Beginning THURSDAY (3/19), meal handouts will take place from 10 a.m. – noon, and will give everyone 18 years of age and younger (and special needs adults up to age 21) a free lunch plus breakfast for the next day. This will eliminate morning meal pick up and require only one trip per day. Per USDA regulations, children must be present to receive the meals. MSH is a district-approved pick-up site. We will continue to notify you if additional adjustments are made.

Athletics Information

The South Carolina High School League has extended athletic restrictions through April 5th. No games, practice, or conditioning.
