Scott's Branch Middle High School

We had an great week of teaching and learning at the Branch this week! Parents we kindly ask that you remind students to be on time for class, pay attention, and be actively engaged in their learning so that they will be prepared for upcoming testing throughout the school year.

High school students and parents EOC testing for English 2, US History, and Biology will be here in just a few weeks. It is imperative that students are working diligently during these classes and reviewing their notes in their ISN notebooks. Students can also utilize Progress Learning study plans and assignments to help you review material. Students if you need help please reach out to your teachers to stay during his/her office hours.

Congratulations again to all the students who were recognized at our 1st Quarter Awards Ceremony! We look forward to seeing these students and many other recognized for their outstanding accomplishments during the 2nd Quarter.

Rise up, Eagle Nation, and meet the expectation!

On Thursday, our Senior Class, on behalf of GEAR UP SC, had the incredible opportunity to visit Allen University in Columbia, South Carolina! 💛💙

Students learned about the rich HBCU history of Allen University, toured the campus with alumni and current students, explored several academic buildings, relaxed in the student center, and enjoyed a meal in the dining hall for a true taste of college life.

As a bonus, Allen was celebrating Homecoming Week, allowing our students to briefly experience the excitement and spirit of campus festivities!

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Allen University for being such gracious hosts and for inspiring our students to dream big about their college futures. We look forward to seeing many of our current and future Eagles soar into higher education — perhaps even at Allen University one day! Our Eagles are looking forward to their next college visit! 🦅🎓
