Congratulations to Abby Moseley! She is among the 54 seniors from across the state to receive a $10,000 scholarship, which will be paid out at $2,500 a year for four years.

Recipients must attend a South Carolina college, university or technical college to qualify. Abby will study psychology at the College of Charleston.

Scholarships are awarded based on academic and extracurricular achievement, communication skills, need and completeness of the application. Recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and enroll in no less than 30 credit hours each academic year to receive funding for that year.

Congratulations to our students who were awarded South Carolina Seals of Biliteracy for becoming proficient in more than one language.

The Seal of Biliteracy recognizes students who have achieved a certain level of proficiency in English and at least one additional world language by graduation. There are three tiers to the Seal of Biliteracy a student can earn: Bronze, Silver or Gold.

Of note, congratulations to:

Usman Sadat – Pashto (Silver) and Farsi (Bronze)

Maria Vazquez Castillo (Gold) – Spanish

Iuliia Vylegzhanina (Gold) – Russian

How to order your FINAL transcript:

All students are encouraged to order their FINAL TRANSCRIPT after the 25-26 school year grades have been finalized. All transcripts MUST be ordered through Parchment. Transcripts will not be shared through any other process.

SENIORS who need their final transcripts sent to a college must place a request using Flora’s transcript service, Parchment. Students can create an account at www.parchment.com and send a transcript electronically to any college in the United States. Students can place a request now via Parchment; they should select the option to “hold for grades” in order to ensure that their final transcript is the one that is sent. Students should request their transcript to be sent no later than June 12 in order to ensure processing before the counseling office closes for the summer break. Final transcripts will be available for sending in June.

JUNIORS…you need to order a copy of your transcript in order to begin the college application process in August. Colleges will ask you for the information on your transcript when you apply, and some may ask you to upload a copy, so please make sure this is part of your “to do” list.

Click here for directions for ordering your transcript through Parchment.

Rising seniors, please see the linked information, (Get Prepared for Senior Year!) put together by our guidance department, about how to best prepare for your senior year.

Midland Tech is offering classes this summer for students in Richland One to earn college credit or get prepared for college entrance. Click HERE for more information and HERE to register.
