The Orangeburg High School for Health Professionals, a new charter school with a medical focus, will open its doors to its first students in August, and it plans to change lives.
"Think Big, Think Boldy, Think beyond," that's the theme for the opening year of Orangburg's newest school.
Principal Angel Hightower has set the bar high for her new students.
"We want our children to come out with not only a diploma, but also some college credit, or either an associates in a particular area," she says they're partnering with Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College.
It is the county's first charter school, and the first one with a medical focus in South Carolina. Hightower say they worked with a similar school in Texas to set up the school.
Hightower says the Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5 authorized the school. She says they've spent the last year preparing to open.
Tuesday, students got a chance to meet each other and members of the school's eight person faculty and staff.
