Ninety Six High School Earns Bronze Metal
December 10, 2008
Ninety Six High School was awarded a bronze medal for the second year in a row, according to a recent U.S. News & World Report publication which listed America’s Best High Schools for 2008. This was a collaborated study made by analysts at SchoolMatters to provide an unbiased view of how well public high schools serve all of their students. Ninety Six, among 1,900 other high schools, was recognized nationwide using three categories of distinction: Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

Ninety Six achieved this ranking while students were housed in undesirible conditions. For the past year Ninety Six High School students have received their teachings mostly while in portables or “learning cottages” as officials call them. With this recognition, it seems that it does not matter what the conditions are one is facing. With the right dedication and commitment anyone can prevail.
Ninety Six High is facing better times as the district recently passed a bond referendum to build a new high school / middle school combination facility. School officials have preached all along that a better facility can help produce better educational results. With that in mind and with a new school facility in a few years, Ninety Six just might have a chance to bring home the Gold.
