BULLDOG MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
BULLDOG BUILT
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Bulldogs,
We are officially in the final quarter of the 2024–2025 school year. Newberry High School has already had numerous accomplishments and events to celebrate, and we are aiming to have even more as we close out this school year. The third quarter concluded with 90 students making the Principal’s (all A) Honor Roll and 200 students making the A/B Honor Roll. The week of March 31–April 4 was our Unity Week where we celebrated the contributions of our exceptional students. We had events including dress up days, disability simulations, a pep rally, and a school-wide sendoff for Special Olympics.
While the Spring semester is a busy and fun time with athletics, prom, end of year events, and graduation, we must remain focused on our goal of high academic achievement for ALL students. South Carolina End of Course testing is around the corner (dates below). It is imperative that students are in class to engage with the content and to practice content enhancement activities. Teachers and students have worked hard all semester to navigate and understand concepts that will enhance their education and future lives. While I do not believe that a single test can measure all the work that has been done, it is our opportunity to demonstrate the enrichment of our classrooms and the talents of our students.
As parents and guardians, you can best support your high school student by ensuring they are resting properly at night and being present to school during the day. If your student is preparing to take an End of Course exam this year, please continue to provide them with positive support. These tests can be stressful, but I firmly believe in the work that our teachers and students have put in. I am reassured each time I go into a classroom that we are all working towards the same vision of educational excellence.
Thank you for your time, and thank you for the efforts you are putting forth for all our Bulldogs!
Sarah Harvey, Principal
