Sexual Health and Responsibility Education
The Sexual Health and Responsibility Education Unit will be taught January 26–February 3, 2026 by the PE department to students currently enrolled in PE.
A general overview and outline of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be viewed on the district website under the Students & Parents Heading then scrolling to the Comprehensive Health & Physical Education link. Complete details, including the slide presentation and videos, can be previewed at the school any time during the school day for parents who would like to view it.
Parents not wishing for their child to participate in the sexual health and responsibility unit or a specific portion of the unit must bring a signed exemption form to the front office in person. By School Board Policy and SC Comprehensive Health Education Law, students who exempt sexual health and responsibility education will be required to complete other health-related self-study lessons.

Mauldin Middle School Named 2026 School to Watch
Mauldin Middle School is one of the latest five South Carolina middle schools to be named Schools to Watch® by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform.
SC Schools to Watch Co-Director, Dr. David McDonald, said, “These principals, teachers and staff members along with their communities have dedicated themselves to being strong examples for sustaining growth and development of their students. Schools are required to submit an extensive application, undergo a site review, and display a strong commitment to the 37 criteria for high performing middle schools identified by the National Forum. Their success has earned them this highly sought after designation. Each of these schools have made a commitment to the Schools to Watch Framework for continuous school improvement.”
To be selected as a Schools to Watch, schools need to be:
- Academically Excellent: demonstrating curriculum rigorous and relevant to the real world
- Developmentally Responsive: students have a safe, healthy and personalized learning environment that is responsive to the unique needs and interests of young adolescents
- Socially Equitable: all students have access to high-quality classes and the support they need to achieve at high levels
- Organized with Supportive Structure: shared leadership, collaborative learning communities, targeted professional development and effective organizational structures
Mauldin Middle School will be recognized at the South Carolina AMLE Conference in Myrtle Beach in February, and will be recognized again in Washington, DC at the National Schools to Watch Conference this summer.
