At Wade Hampton, you must come to class prepared to learn. There are lots of important things you will need to know to be successful in high school. The main thing you need to know is "How to graduate high school in 4 years." This starts with you knowing the high school graduation requirements in South Carolina.

Always have a pen or pencil and paper to take notes on. Write down homework assignments and/or check your Google Classroom. Always participate in class and ask questions when you need further clarification. Study what you have learned in class each night by reviewing your notes, reading through your text book, or resource materials. Be prepared for surprise quizzes and most importantly pre-announced tests and projects. Meet due dates for turning in assignments and projects. Make arrangements with your teachers to come for extra help outside of class when needed.
