I AM NEWBERRY HIGH
From the principal
Dear Bulldogs,
Our students, teachers, and staff members have hit the ground running in our second semester of
the 2023-2024 school year. For the second quarter, NHS had 183 students make the A/B Honor Roll
and 94 students make the Principal’s (all A) Honor Roll. We celebrated these students the week of
January 15th. Each month, I have presented past data that impacted our South Carolina High
School Report Card. We have also shared our goals and our strategies for improving in all areas. In
this month’s newsletter, I will provide some projected data for the 2023-2024 Report Card based
on our progress so far this school year. Newberry High School strives for excellence in all areas. We
understand that we have improvement to still be made, but we are also very proud of the growth
and accomplishments of our students so far this school year.
Area | Description | 22-23 Data | Projected 23-24 data |
Academic Achievement | C or better on English 2 and Algebra I End of Course Tests | 46% | 45% |
Preparing for Success | C or better on US History and Biology I End of Course Tests | 20% | 27% |
College and Career Readiness | See CCR graphic | 54% | 75% |
Graduation Rate | Students who graduate within 4 years | 78% | 82% |
This semester, we are offering free tutoring in our library four days a week from 3:30 to 4:30. Students can also recover seat time during this time.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our school and our students. We are fortunate to be a part of a community like Newberry!
Sincerely,
Sarah E. Harvey, Principal

NHS Junior Wins State Writing Contest
Dayanara Reyes won first place in the SC Writing Contest sponsored by the South Carolina Honors College for her essay “My Name, My Roots, My Home.” This award, the Walter Edgar Award, includes $1,000.
“For a simple fast-food restaurant, I have drowned my roots in iced tea and buried them under dirt roads. I sacrificed the name that the calloused hands of my father gave me to conform myself to this state that he chose.”
Yearbooks are still available for the final price of $75!
