GRANITEVILLE, S.C. (WJBF)- The 2024-2025 school year is almost over and seniors across the CSRA are preparing to take their next steps. One local high school issued a huge challenge to its seniors at the beginning of the school year, and they’ve nearly completed it.
For years the administration at Midland Valley High School has challenged the top 20 seniors to apply to at least 20 different colleges. This year they switched it up with a much bigger challenge– apply to and be accepted to schools in all 50 states.
“It was just a matter of us knowing how great our students were. And we just wanted everybody else to know about this, too. And it’s born in competition. We want to do better than everybody else and be better than every high school, because our students are as good as any and better than most,” explained Sheldon Higgenbottom, MVHS Principal.
