Principal's Message

Dr. James \"Vance\" Jones
Thank you for visiting our website and demonstrating interest in our school! I extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the faculty and staff of Brookland-Cayce High School, home of the Bearcats. At BCHS, we deeply dedicate ourselves to fostering an environment that inspires students to believe in their own abilities, pursue excellence, and positively impact their surroundings. Together with our devoted instructors and staff, supporting parents, and motivated students, we will continue to uphold Brookland Cayce High School's legacy of excellence. 
BCHS is a fantastic school that offers many exceptional academic, athletic, and arts programs. These programs equip our children with 21st-century skills, a safe and supportive school climate, data-driven educational goals, and challenging, engaging lessons. We are committed to upholding the BCHS legacy of excellence and adhering to our motto, "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve."
 
This academic year, 2024-25, will provide you with an experience unlike any other. We will continue to provide HalfTime on a daily basis, allowing all of our kids to eat lunch, receive academic support, interact with each other, and decompress. HalfTime provides tutoring on a daily basis, giving you every opportunity to achieve their academic goals. We successfully completed our first year of using the HalfTime approach and were pleased with the outcomes! We want every BCHS student to be college and/or career ready, which is why we will continue to focus on preparing our kids for the "4 E's": Entrepreneur, Employed, Enrolled, or Enlisted.  Brookland Cayce's diversified options continue to expand, which is why our alumni fit the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. Brookland Cayce High School's high-quality education is the result of the passion and professionalism of its educators, staff, students, and supportive parent community. 
 
Please feel free to contact me at 803-791-5000 or [email protected] if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.  I look forward to collaborating with you.
