HereTest's higher-education landscape includes 1 institution: University of South Carolina HereTest (Pacers), NCAA D2. HEREHereTest covers admissions deadlines, scholarship windows, athletic schedules, and campus announcements for each institution.
SC's public-school governance flows through the SC Department of Education, which administers SC READY assessments each spring and enforces the Read to Succeed Act — requiring third-grade reading proficiency before promotion. The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) governs interscholastic athletics across the state. Teacher pay begins at the state minimum and is locally supplemented — making salaries a perennial flashpoint at budget hearings.
HEREHereTest tracks school-board meetings across HereTest — agendas, votes, and budget summaries published before local papers. Our reporters cover graduation rates and SC READY scores; teacher-contract negotiations; school resource officers; SAT and ACT data; Title I funding allocations; building bond referenda; and the Friday Night Football calendar. From dual-enrollment windows at local technical colleges to faculty announcements at area universities — if it happens in a HereTest classroom or on a HereTest campus, it is HERE.
