Zachary Sandifer
When DHS shared its Associate of Arts Degree program with qualified Early College Honors Program students, Zachary decided to rise to the challenge and take advantage of this opportunity. While only a high school freshman, Zachary committed to spend the next three years, including one summer, devoted to college courses each semester in addition to his other high school classes. His hard work has paid off. Zachary participated in Florence-Darlington Technical College’s Spring commencement ceremony on May 10th and will now receive both His college degree and high school diploma during Darlington High School’s graduation ceremony on June 7th.
Zachary is an active student at DHS where he was a member of the Robotics Team, Technology Club, and National Honor Society. He was also a member of the Tennis Team. When he is not at school or working his part-time job, Zachary enjoys longboarding and solving Rubiks Cubes as well as volunteering at his church.
Zachary plans to attend Clemson University in the fall where he plans to study software engineering/digital media production. When asked what advice he would give future ECHP students, he said that students need to, “Make sure to take all classes seriously and study well in advance.” With the success he has already achieved, there is no doubt that Zachary will be equally successful in his future endeavors.
Congratulations Zachary Sandifer!
