Standout Students

Congratulations Sam White, a senior from Simpsonville, SC. Sam is our April Student of the Month and is on track to graduate this June! This is Sam’s third year at SC Whitmore School and he has been a great student during his time here. 

Sam enrolled at the SC Whitmore School during his sophomore year. 

“I chose to enroll at SC Whitmore School so that I could get back on track with my grades and succeed with the flexibility this school allows,” said Sam. 

Sam has loved his experience at SC Whitmore School. 

“My experience with this school couldn‘t have been better,” said Sam. “All my teachers have supported me since my first day and I‘ve always felt welcome. I‘ve had challenges with managing my time but I was able to overcome that by thinking about how great it‘ll feel to finally be finished with high school.” 

The teachers and school counselors at SC Whitmore have enjoyed Sam as a student at SC Whitmore School. 

One of his teachers Mrs. Wheeler is seeing all of the hard work and effort he is putting into his work. 

“He has knocked it out of the park as far as getting things done on time to graduate, said Mrs. Wheeler. “He is a very diligent student and I‘m so super proud of him!” His school counselor, Mrs. Gilbert is also seeing how hard he is working. 

“He‘s receptive to suggestions, communicative, and has been crushing his goals to meet the May 15th deadline,” said Mrs. Gilbert. “I am so proud of him and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him during the past few years.” 

Adjusting to online school was not very difficult for Sam because of the layout of the SCWS. “ It‘s incredibly easy to see what I need to do that day and it helps me get through my classes,” said Sam. 

Sam stays on track with his assignments by using a paper link chain. It has one link for each assignment and whenever one is completed he tears it off, and he slowly watches it get shorter and shorter. 

He plans to graduate from SC Whitmore School with good grades and graduate on time. His career goals are to work for a high–end car dealership and someday own one himself as well as advance in his photography and potentially make a career out of that. 

Sam has great advice for any new students at SC Whitmore School. In his free time, Sam likes to do automotive photography for fun. “I‘ve been taking pictures of cars for about 5 years now and I‘ve made incredible friends through that,” said Sam. “I enjoy traveling, having new experiences, and meeting new people.” 

“My advice is to make a plan of what lessons will be completed that week so you can stay on track,” said Sam. We are very proud of all your accomplishments! Keep doing “School Your Way!
