U.S. News & World Report Ranks Spring Valley in the Top 25 High Schools 

This year the U.S. News & World Report ranks Spring Valley in the top 25 high schools out of the 243 high schools in the state of SC. Here is Spring Valley’s updated U.S. News profile page, with details about its rankings: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/south-carolina/districts/richland-02/spring-valley-high-17710.  

“Families can use the Best High Schools rankings to see how schools compare at the national, state and local level on factors like graduation rates and college readiness,” said Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education at U.S. News. “The rankings also provide insight into academic performance among underserved groups.”

The methodology focuses on six factors: college readiness, reading and math proficiency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rates. College readiness specifically measures participation and performance on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams. The data used in this edition is from the 2018-2019 academic school year, and therefore was not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alongside the national rankings, U.S. News published rankings at the state, metro area and school district levels. Only metro areas and school districts with three or more high schools were included in these subrankings.

The Best High Schools rankings are available exclusively on USNews.com and include data on a variety of factors, such as enrollment, student diversity, participation in free and reduced-price lunch programs, graduation rates and the results of state assessments. U.S. News worked with RTI International, a global research firm, to implement the comprehensive ranking methodology. For more information, visit Facebook and Twitter using #BestHighSchools.

Dilley-Wilson Changemaker Scholarship

Dilley – Wilson Changemaker Scholarship 

Scholarship Excerpt

This scholarship was created by a 2016 graduate, Taylor Ramsue, to honor two teachers that changed her life during her time at Spring Valley High School. 

Mrs. Regina Dilley and Mr. Rodney Wilson are true examples of leaders who are passionate about teaching the next generation. They have both dedicated their lives to helping in and outside of the classroom, extending a helping hand without ever receiving recognition or expecting a thank you. Mrs. Dilley and Mr. Wilson helped to change the trajectory of Taylor’s life through their knowledge, kindness, and compassion. Every student should be able to experience teachers such as Mrs. Dilley and Mr. Wilson because they are the change that we all want to see. They continue to sow into the lives of their students daily while cultivating new ways to show their passion for teaching. 

This scholarship is Taylor’s way of honoring two teachers that aided immensely in her growth and success. More importantly, to honor Mrs. Dilley and Mr. Wilson while they are still serving at Spring Valley. They both deserve their flowers while they can still smell them. 

Detailed Scholarship Description  

The Dilley Wilson ChangeMaker scholarship is a minority-based, one-time gift for high school seniors pursuing higher education. Applicants must be graduating high school seniors who enroll at an accredited college or university as a full-time freshman in the summer or fall semester. 

Qualifying Criteria 

• Graduating Senior 
• Commit to an accredited college or university (this includes technical colleges)
• Must be a minority/person of color 
• Must possess an overall minimum 3.0 GPA 
• Submit a 1-2 page essay ( no word requirement) about someone who has changed your life via academics and how that person has helped to fulfill your dream of going to college
• Financial need will be taken into consideration

Two Candidates will be chosen each year, receiving a scholarship of $1,000 each starting 2021-2022 school year

As a parent, the reality of paying for college becomes more and more real each year. Currently, the College Board reports that a “moderate” college budget for an in-state public college averaged $24,061 per year. A moderate budget at a private college averaged $47,831 per year. Yikes! We hope you will join us for our 30-minute sessions from 6-6:30 p.m. Here’s the registration link please see the flyer above.

Dear Parents of Richland Two Seniors,

Richland Two has important changes to share about graduations for the Class of 2021. District leadership has made the decision to move the graduations to Harry Parone Stadium and students will receive tickets for four guests.

Due to the change in venue, the dates and times of graduations have changed to the following:

June 8: 8 a.m. Spring Valley High
7 p.m. Ridge View High

June 9 8 a.m. Richland Northeast High

7 p.m. Blythewood High

June 10 8 a.m. Westwood High

The district is taking steps to ensure that these celebrations of student achievement are memorable and most importantly, safe. Please review the information below carefully. 

MASKS

Masks are required for admission. Guests are asked to bring their own masks to the ceremony.

SEATING

Inside the stadium, guests and students will be required to maintain social-distancing. 

STREAMING

Ceremonies will be streamed live online at www.richland2.org/livestream. 

Please be on the lookout for more information from your schools and the district’s Communications Office as we continue to finalize the plans for these special ceremonies for our students. Thank you for your support, understanding and patience.

Sincerely,

Libby Roof
Chief Communications Officer
