The Beaufort County School District honored 110 high school seniors – including 40 from North of the Broard — for outstanding academic achievement at its annual Senior Scholars celebration on Wednesday night, April 24.
Senior Scholars are students who have been enrolled in a Beaufort County School District high school for a minimum of three consecutive semesters by the second semester of the senior year, and who have maintained a cumulative 3.5 grade-point average or higher, are ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating classes, and earned the equivalent of an 85 percent grade or higher in college prep courses, an 80 percent grade or higher in honors courses, and a 75 percent grade or higher in advanced placement, international baccalaureate, or dual enrollment courses in all quarters of their high school career.
“We’re exceptionally proud of what these outstanding seniors have accomplished during their high school years, and we’re confident their successes will continue into the future,” BCSD Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said.
This year’s banquet speaker was Whale Branch Early College graduate Quintilian Fields Jr., a 2022 Senior Scholar, who is currently an honors student at USC Beaufort (USCB), where he serves as a student ambassador and Resident Assistant (RA). A member of the Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society and a dedicated Family Worship Center youth leader, Fields represented USCB at Carolina Day at the State House and was honored as the 2023 USCB Student of the Year.
