Dreher High advances to S.C. SAT finals for sixth year

Dreher High School is a state finalist in the 2004 S.C. SAT competition for the sixth year and is one of only two teams that have advanced to the finals all six years of the competition.

Dreher’s SAT team won the AAA Lower State championship and will face Riverside, the AAA Upper State champion, in the finals on March 10 at USC. This is a rematch of last year’s AAA finals, which Dreher won. 

Nine high-scoring individuals also were announced and will compete at the state finals including David Wang of Dreher, who was the Class AAA Individual State Champion for 2002.

State champions in each conference, both teams and individuals, will be named at a luncheon on March 10. State winners will receive trophies and medallions provided by the S.C. High School League.

More than 400 students from 35 high schools participated in upper/lower state competition at the end of February. Students took a specially designed two-hour, 112-question exam that was divided into two sections of math and two sections of verbal questions. 

The contest is open to all schools that are members of the South Carolina High School League, and participation is voluntary.
