From extraordinary academic achievements and accolades to new opportunities and community outreach, Lexington-Richland District Five schools serve as a cornerstone
in the Chapin community.
High School Officials See High Achievement
At the high school level, officials saw noteworthy recognitions, construction on the new Spring Hill High School and exciting upgrades at award-winning Chapin High School. U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek and the Washington Post all ranked Chapin High among the best for college preparedness, overall performance and academic rigor.
The district’s new Center for Advanced Technical Studies, which opened in August 2012, earned the prestigious national Project Lead The Way certification in its first year. The school offers biomedical sciences and a variety of other programs that focus on science, technology, engineering and math.
“It’s highly unusual that a program would receive

Project Lead The Way certification in its first year,” Center Director Dr. James Couch said. “I think what the program has been able to accomplish here speaks to the quality of the curriculum, students and teachers.”
Nearly 70 students are currently enrolled in The Center’s Biomedical Science program, which is expected to add a second instructor and grow to 150 students in the 2013-2014 school year. The certification provides these students with an opportunity to receive college credit at PLTW-affiliated colleges and universities, including the University of South Carolina.
As part of the rigorous certification process, a team of state, university and school officials visited The Center to review the program and facilities. Couch said the team noted the school’s impressive equipment, teaching supplies, students, and teachers as part of their evaluation.
“The PLTW certification gives us notoriety,” added Julie Krusen, a National Board Certified teacher with The Center’s biomedical science program. “We’re fol-lowing national guidelines, so we know we’re preparing students for that next step.”
The program includes a sequence of courses and hands-on, real-world problem-solving activities. Students explore the concepts of human medicine and are introduced to topics such as physiology, genetics, microbiology and public health. Through activities, like dissecting a heart, students examine the processes, structures and interactions of the human body. They also explore prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dis-eases, working collaboratively to investigate and design solutions to address current health challenges such as fighting cancer with nanotechnology.
Students enrolled in the biomedical science pro-gram cited the desire to pursue further studies in biol-ogy in college and enjoyed the preparation and hands-on learning experiences they had at the Center. The classes are more lab-based instead of relying primarily on textbooks. For many, the difference from being in a traditional classroom setting was a welcome change.
“We’re following national guidelines, so we know we’re preparing students for that next step.”

to cancer patients as part of a project with Lexington Medical Center.
Superintendent Dr. Stephen Hefner stresses that education goes beyond academics. “Our goal at District Five is to not only provide quality education, but also to develop productive citizens who contribute to a fast-changing global society.”
Higher Educational OpportunitiesChapin is close to several two-year and four-year
institutions of higher learning. Midlands Technical College offers a number of
technical training, certification programs and associate degrees that prepare people for the workforce. Many students opt to attend MTC to take their core academic classes and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete their Bachelor’s degree.
The University of South Carolina’s flagship campus is located in Columbia, offering 324 degree programs through its 14 degree-granting colleges and schools. Situated near the state capitol, the university is expand-ing west toward the Congaree River in support of its research initiatives in nanotechnology, health sciences,
Elementary and Middle Schools Leading the Pack
Chapin Middle School continued its legacy of excel-lence. The school was one of three in District Five to earn the latest state Palmetto Gold Awards for academic achievement and closing the achievement gap.
“A Gold Award in both categories is a real testament to the hard work and dedi-cation of everyone involved in our great school.” Middle School Principal Anna Miller
At the Elementary School level, Lake Murray
Elementary also earned Palmetto Gold Awards in both categories, while Chapin Elementary received Gold for overall performance and Silver for closing the achieve-ment gap.
Chapin Elementary students were also recognized for their charitable efforts. A fourth grader touched many by donating money she collected for her birthday to the school’s fundraiser, and first graders wrote letters
