MCHS Named a Palmetto Gold School Congratulations to Mid-Carolina High School students,

faculty, staff, and parents. Mid-Carolina High School

earned the 2013-2014 Palmetto Gold Award in General

Performance. This award is to recognize and reward

schools for attaining high levels of student academic

achievement. “The Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards

program, founded in 1998, recognizes schools for general

performance and closing the achievement gap. Within

those two categories, a school may be awarded either the

gold or silver designation.” Being named Palmetto Gold is

a huge accomplishment that is the result of a lot of hard

and staff. Great job MCHS!

Congratulations to two of our students

Bowl and Hippology contests held at

Clemson University. Anya Mundell

competed in both competitions and

received 3rd high individual for the state

in Horse Bowl and 6th high individual

overall in Hippology. Hailey Mundell

won 1st overall in

Hippology. Both Anya and Hailey

were on the same team which won

2nd overall. They also received 1st

in the horse judging phase. In the

exam phase Hailey was 2nd and

Anya was 4th. They will both compete at regionals this

summer.

Horse Bowl is a quiz bowl contest where participants are

asked questions about horses and horse related topics.

Quick thinking is a must as you must activate your

electronic buzzer before your opponent in order to answer

the question and score points.

Hippology is the study of horses. This contest tests the

participants knowledge of horses and horse related items

from any aspect of the horse industry. Contest elements

include a written exam, horse judging, identification of

items and/or their uses, and solving a problem and

presenting the solution.

Horse judging turns the tables as youth try to match the

experts in deciding how a particular group of horse should

be ranked if they were competing in a show. Participants

place various types of classes (in hand and under saddle)

then give an oral presentatio n explaining how they ranked

the class and why.

Congratulations to Mr. Russell

Satterfield for being selected as

a Claes Nobel Educator of

Distinction, a special program

of the National Society of High

School Scholars that honors

educators worldwide. Mr.

Satterfield was nominated by

two students of Mid-Carolina

High School, Matthew Gentry

and Emily Livingston.

NSHSS believes that educators should be recognized for

their commitment and impact of our youth. This

recognition often means the most when it comes from those

who view their educator as a role model and positive

influence in their lives. NSHSS high school members are

given the opportunity to nominate, a single educator who

has made the most significant contribution to their

academic career.

Educators nominated as Educators of Distinction must be

an outstanding role model and positive influence, someone

who has made a lasting difference in the student's life by

encouraging them to strive for excellence as they become

the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.

In celebration of Black

History Month, Mid-

Carolina High School

held its annual Black

History Month

JROTC Congratulations to Jonathan Melvin for

Award. “The West Point Parents Club

and the West Point Societies of South

Carolina have established the West Point

Leadership Award to recognize high

school juniors who exhibit the qualities

and ideals of the United States Military

Academy. The selection criteria for this

award include demonstrated excellence

in the areas of leadership, academics, athletics, community

service, and good citizenship.”

BAND

The SCBDA Concert Festival event is the formative

annual assessment of instrumental music programs in

South Carolina. We choose music literature that

demonstrates various fundamental music standards. The

grade level is a benchmark. The evaluation is similar to

standardized test or end of course exams given in other

school courses. A national standard of performance is

applied to our program because we bring in competent

judges. This evaluation serves to provide the opportunity

for program improvement, instructional guidance, and

accountability for learning.

This year the Mid-Carolina High School band entered into

Class IV (on a scale of I - VI with VI being the most

difficult) and earned an overall Superior rating. Equally

impressive was the earning of five straight superior ratings

including the two Superior ratings earned in Sight Reading

where the band members and director are given 6 minutes

to look over a piece of music that they have never seen and

then play it for the judges.

Thanks to each of you for all of your support of our band

program.

Possible". Her students responded as follows:

1. "...My life has changed. I will try to improve...I

will work harder" - Jamorian Abney.

- LaQuon Gallman

touched me. I was always told that I couldn't

make it and graduate, but Tim told me that if I

believe in myself, then I can do it!" - David

Garcia

5. "The speaker Tim Bowers showed me that I can

pass the HSAP and be what I want to be in life. I

know I can do it!" - Tray McMorris

6. "I am really looking forward to accomplishing my

goal. Thank you Mr.Tim!" Tysheim Mendenhall.

a lot of things." - Isaac Williams

ARCHERY TEAM

Congratulations to the Mid-Carolina Archery Team. They

won 1st place in the 2014 SC NASP Tournament sponsored

by DNR at the Sportsman Classic on Friday, March 28.

This is the Rebels ninth consecutive year winning 1st place.

The team scored a total of 3270 points averaging 272.5

points per archer. Dalton Chapman was tied for second

place with a score of 284 in the male division before

having to shoot in front of a massive crowd for a tie-

breaker. The archers were to shoot 5 arrows from a

distance of 15 meters to see who would claim second

place. After matching scores on those five, the young men

had to shoot 1 arrow for closest to center in what most

sports call a double overtime. Dalton braved the first shot

and scored a 9 but was bettered by a ten from the other

archer. The consolation for Dalton, who is a senior, is 3rd

place and a $1000 scholarship for being the top 12th grade

male division archer. All archers on the team did a great

job shooting for Mid-Carolina to keep its tradition alive.

We are so proud of every MCHS Archery Team member,

Coach Jason Long, and Coach Jackie Harris!

The following students are on the 2014 archery team:

Thomas Kiker, Robbie Long, Will Lever, Evan

Lovelady, Reid Webster, Jessie Russell, Dalton

Chapman, Austin Fulmer, Forrest White, Corey
