Nine students from C.E. Williams Middle School for Creative and Scientific Arts have been identified as 2014-2015 South Carolina Junior Scholars. Junior Scholars are selected based on receiving a Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) score of 50 or greater on verbal, math or writing.
The S.C. Junior Scholars Program, which began in 1987, reflects a growing statewide effort to improve education in South Carolina and responds to the critical needs of students possessing unique abilities. The purpose of the program is to identify students with exceptionally high scholastic achievement and intellectual ability and to provide opportunities for these students, which facilitate their intellectual growth, broaden their individual interests and promote their scholastic achievement.
