Board adds two‑semester Intro to U.S. History elective to support struggling students
Summary
Trustees approved a two‑semester Intro to U.S. History elective designed to build foundational knowledge, literacy and historical analysis skills for students who need extra preparation for the full course; the class is elective and carries no end‑of‑course exam.
The board approved an innovative two‑semester Intro to U.S. History elective intended to give students more time to develop historical vocabulary, analysis skills and evidence‑based writing before taking the full US history course.
Dr. Whiteside explained the course was developed after principals requested additional support and that the scope and sequence align with South Carolina college‑and‑career readiness standards and constitutional instruction. The class will be offered beginning in the 2026–27 school year as an elective; Dr. Whiteside confirmed it will not have an end‑of‑course exam because it is an elective.
The developer Daniel Gregory was recognized for helping write the proposal. Trustees praised the course and approved the innovative course application unanimously.
