Good Evening! This is Rick Parker, Principal of Indian Land High School calling with a Sunday Weekly Update. We had a great week! Our Class of 2025 Senior girls won the championship Powder Puff game defeating the Juniors! It was a cold night but the senior girls persevered to secure the dazzling championship sequin football! Special thanks to teachers Dan Marchildon and Shanna Dickerson for coordinating this event! Our Football team played in the second round of the State Playoffs but came up short losing to Northwestern High School. A shout out goes to Coach Hastings and his team for having a great season! We look forward to next year as they continue their quest for a State Championship! This week is a short week with only two days. I hope everyone enjoys some time off with family and has safe travels.

Students enrolled in Dual Enrollment U.S. History will be scheduled to take the EOC test that is in line with the required South Carolina EOC for U. S. History high school credit. EOC for Dual Enrollment students who have completed both HIS 111 and 112 will be on the same day as other EOC testing for U. S. History.
Start having conversations: Beginning second semester, 1/7/25, Lancaster County School District will enforce the state mandate of no cell phones allowed to be used during the school day. Students may bring a phone and keep on their person, but will only be allowed to use it before school or after school. No cell phones will be allowed to be used in class, during class transitions or lunchtime as we do now. Having these conversations now to prepare for this change will help with the new district policy. Consequences on the Behavioral Student Matrix will begin with warnings and lead to Refuse to Obey. Please review the behavioral matrix to familiarize yourself with Refuse to Obey.
