Standout Students

Congratulations Justin Weaver, a senior from Florence, SC. Justin is our May Student of the Month and has recently graduated from SC Whitmore School! This is Justin’s second year at SC Whitmore School and he has been an awesome student during his time here.

Justin enrolled at the SC Whitmore School during his junior year.

“I chose to enroll in SC Whitmore School because I wanted to have control over my schedule and my brother who had enrolled previously told me that, with SC Whitmore, you can create your own personalized schedule,” said Justin.

Justin has enjoyed his experience at SC Whitmore School.

My biggest challenge at SC Whitmore was holding myself accountable for my attendance,” said Justin. “Unlike traditional school, no one ensures you do the work necessary to graduate. Besides that, however, my experience at SC Whitmore has been good. I’ve had full control over my schedule, and because of that, my classes were stress-free,” said Justin.

The teacher at SC Whitmore have enjoyed Justin as a student. One of his teachers, Mrs. Carter is seeing all of the hard work and effort he put into his work.

“Justin Weaver killed it over the past month or so to finish TWO lab based science credits in time to graduate,” said Mrs. Carter. “He stuck to the senior plan issued back in April and got it all done – that included finishing Chem B, Environmental A, and Environmental B in a month. He completed everything with excellent quality, too.” said Mrs. Carter.

Adjusting to online school was not very difficult for Justin. “The best thing that helped me adjust to online school was learning to commit time for my classes and truly learn what I was being taught, rather than just trying to get lessons done,” said Justin.

Justin stayed on track with his assignments by using the tools given to him by his teachers, such as their websites or schedules.

After graduating from high school, Justin plans to attend the Citadel.

“I want to graduate from the Citadel with a Mechanical Engineering degree and a PE with which I want to get a good, high-paying job,” said Justin.

Justin has great advice for any new students at SC Whitmore School.

“The best advice I would give to other students enrolling in SCWS is to hold yourself accountable for your attendance,” said Justin.

“It is our responsibility and in our best interest to ensure we attend our classes consistently,” said Justin.

Just is now officially a graduate of SC Whitmore School.

“Since I have graduated now, I plan on hanging out with my friends and family, taking beach trips, and exercising a lot in preparation for my enrollment into the Citadel,” said Justin.

We are very proud of all you accomplishments! Keep doing “School Your Way!”
