“Anderson One is focused on the state’s profile of a SC graduate and is striving to find additional ways to help college bound students meet college readiness benchmarks. Our goal is for students to be successful in college when they leave our schools. Opportunities are available for SAT test prep classes for students and professional development for teachers with College Board,” said Assistant Superintendent Jane Harrison.
