After a year at
Mid-Carolina, I feel like part of the family. It
amazes me how quickly I have grown to love my work here,
and I am grateful to have found a second professional
home. This school year we moved from our old site to a
brand new, fully-equipped building off Cy Schumpert
Road. Though I miss my little mobile unit out back
at the old school, I've enjoyed patrolling the halls,
chatting with colleagues between classes, and learning
to use my new SmartBoard. The new building is a
fabulous testament to our community's support of
schools in Newberry County.
 Mid-Carolina High School
was established in 1958 to serve and consolidate the
small, rural communities of Prosperity, Pomaria, and
Little Mountain, South Carolina. It is one of
three high schools in Newberry County, and has been very
successful, winning Palmetto Gold Awards from 2001 to
2005. Mid-Carolina motto is "A Proud Past, A
Promising Future." Its student body of
approximately 700 students is ethically and
socio-economically diverse, reflecting the changing and
growing nature of the surrounding community.
Student interests range from hunting and fishing to punk
rock to theater and the arts, from AP English to
Welding. MCHS is lucky to work with one the finest
career centers in South Carolina, offering state of the
art instruction and an array of professional
certifications in areas like Health
 Science Technology,
Automotive Technology, Carpentry, Cosmetology, HVAC
Technology, Business, and CAD.
Sports reign supreme at
Mid-Carolina and everyone turns out to cheer on the
Rebels on Friday nights. So many folks come out
that you have to show up early for the football games or
you'll end up parking way down off the side of Highway
76. Prosperity is still the land of the pickup truck
as Blake, Michael, and Ben (from left to right)
demonstrate in this picture.
