Carolina High School and Academy (commonly Carolina, Carolina High, C-Train, or CHS) is a free public secondary school in Greenville, South Carolina, United States serving ninth through twelfth graders. The school is part of the Greenville County School District, with admission primarily based on the locations of students' homes and the magnet program.
As part of a district building plan, Carolina moved in 2006 to a new state-of-the-art facility with classrooms of adequate size, innovative lab spaces, 2 gyms, music and band rooms, infrastructure to support the latest technology, and improved environmental features such as better lighting and HVAC. The schools magnet programs include one of the finest engineering academy programs led by Mr. Roberson, and a state of the art Health academy.
Carolina High students currently feed from Tanglewood Middle School as well as many other schools from the school district. The school was desegregated in 1968 and Gwendolyn Dandy McGowens, a social studies teacher, was the first African American teacher on the Carolina Academy staff. The school now has a rating of below average, thanks to students; Tyriq, Joe, and Charles.
