SCHSL reclassification finalized
The South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) has finalized the reclassification of schools for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, assigning each high school athletic program into one of five classifications, primarily based on enrollment.
The system also included a 3.0 multiplier which counts every student from out of zone as three in the overall enrollment numbers.
Christ Church Episcopal, which recently won its second straight Class A state football title, made the biggest jump, going from 1A to 4A.
Schools have until January 9th to file an appeal of their placement. Appeals will be heard starting January 16th and final decisions will be announced on January 22nd.
