COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A new record was set for winter graduates at South Carolina Whitmore School after announcing the commencement of 33 students.

“We are so proud of our graduates and how hard they worked to complete all of their requirements and earn their high school diplomas in December.

We can’t wait to see what all they will accomplish in their next steps,” said Kim Dunbar, executive director of the school.

They had a goal in mind and were able to see it through. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors. I have no doubt that these graduates will achieve greatness,” the school’s principal Ebone Adams said.
