WHS and Theatre Department Annual Food Drive - TRICK OR TREAT SO KIDS CAN EAT!
We are excited to kick off our Annual Food Drive for the PERC - The Piedmont Emergency Relief Center! We will collect non-perishable food items the entire month of October to help them restock their shelves. Students are encouraged to trick-or-treat in their communities on Halloween and ask for donated food items in lieu of candy! They desperately need our help! Please bring food items to either Mr. Culpepper's or Mr. Giles's room. If you would like to drop off at the front office please contact us at either hculpepper@greenville.k12.sc.us or cwgiles@greenville.k12.sc.us to make arrangements. Thank you for supporting our community food bank!

New Greenville County Student Dress Code
Greenville County Schools has made changes to the student dress code, which will go in effect beginning the new school year. These changes were made to increase alignment in discipline and dress code practices between schools and to provide more consistency and clarity for parents and students. The specifications of the new dress code can be found in the links below. An English and Spanish Version are provided.
Updated Student Attendance Policy
Greenville County Schools has updated the district’s attendance policy. It is important to note that students must present a written excuse, signed by a parent/legal guardian or a medical professional, for all absences within 3 days of the student’s return to school. The written excuse should include the reason for and the date of the absence. Without a valid written excuse, the absence will be recorded as unlawful. Absences in excess of 10 days will not be considered excused with a parent/guardian note unless accompanied by official medical documentation or approved by the principal. These updates are in effect for the 2024-25 school year and can be reviewed in the student handbook or on the Greenville County Schools website.

For high schools, personal electronic devices cannot be used by students in classrooms during the instructional day. All personal devices must remain out of sight of others and be silenced during this time.

High school instructional day begins at 8:45 a.m. and ends at 3:45 p.m. The instructional school day for other special centers, such as Career Centers and the Fine Arts Center shall be determined by the location administrator in accordance with the instructional activities of that facility.
