Student Created AAST Promotional Video
The Academy for the Arts, Science, and Technology’s (AAST) curriculum guide has been prepared to assist students and their parents in course selection for long-range academic and career planning. This guide includes information on graduation requirements, instructional courses, and programs offered at AAST.
It is important that students and parents take note of course descriptions and prerequisites when considering a course or a program of study. In addition, students should select courses that contribute to their educational, personal, and career goals.
Students enrolled at AAST are highly encouraged to enroll in a rigorous course of study and to enroll in higher level courses when possible. Although guidance counselors are available for academic advising, students and parents are responsible for ensuring that the student’s academic plan meets the requirements for both the South Carolina high school diploma and the post-secondary school of choice.
AAST makes every effort to ensure that the information in this document is informative and accurate. However, new regulations may impact, negate, or change the implementation of the programs and/or courses described. This Program of Studies should not be viewed as a contract but as a guideline for students and parents.
Welcome to the Academy for Arts, Science & Technology (AAST). We are a Cognia STEM certified program academy serving high school students from nine attendance areas in Horry County. We are committed to preparing students to be college and career-ready global citizens.

I am honored to serve as the Principal for AAST and am blessed to be a part of the AAST family. I am very proud of all of the academic accomplishments of our students, but I am most pleased to claim, with conviction, that the character and leadership of our students in the area of civic contributions are what is most impressive about the remarkable young adults that I have the pleasure of serving each day.
