Career Day, Literacy Night, Math-Science Night, and Family Fun Night bring students, families, and community partners into the same building, and the school lists about 390 students in its current profile. The surrounding map is a mix of neighborhood streets and nearby Spartanburg services, with the city close enough to shape work, shopping, and school connections.
