 Richland One honored 144 exceptional high school
seniors at its second annual Academic All-Stars
Recognition Banquet hosted by Partners in Education (PIE),
the district’s educational foundation, at the Adam’s
Mark
Hotel.
Lead sponsors were BellSouth, First Citizens Bank and
SCANA.
To qualify as Richland One All-Stars, students must be
ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school’s
senior class or they must meet the established criteria
for High School Scholars. All honorees must be candidates
for graduation the spring of the respective year.
Students who are ranked in the top 10 percent of their
senior class but do not have at least a 3.5 GPA are
ineligible. Students also must have no grade lower than C
in any subject completed for high-school credit.
Selection is made based upon a student’s academic
standing at the end of the first semester of the senior
year.
Academic All-Stars received a framed certificate, a
Richland One Academic All-Star medallion and a Richland
One Academic All-Star jacket.
High School Scholars received the traditional stoles
to be worn over their graduation robes and will receive
all other recognition awarded to High School Scholars
through the established program.
