Transcript of Academic Excellence with a Christian Perspective 2014 … Report 2015.pdf · Academic Excellence...
Dear First Baptist School Families and Friends,
It is our pleasure to serve the church and school for the 2015—2016 academic year. Last year was an exciting year for us. We began host-
ing athletic events, fine arts productions and special events at the FBS Athletic and Performing Arts Complex on James Island. Our
students continued to excel both athletically and academically. Many FBS athletic teams won state titles, continuing a tradition of excel-
lence. The 2015 graduating class of 47 graduates, received 10 of the highest level scholarships offered, including the Presidential Schol-
arship and the Provost Scholarship. Of the 47 graduates, six were Palmetto Fellows and 36% received multiple offers of acceptance from
colleges and universities.
An agreement signed between FBS and Charleston Southern University will allow FBS students the opportunity to participate in a
dual enrollment program starting in the 2015-2016 academic year.
We are looking forward to another exciting year and ask that you join with us in praying for our school, faculty, staff and students.
Many thanks for your support,
Thomas E. Mullins, Head of School
Kip Hooker, School Board Chairman

Loyalty Fund Donations Each year, private support to First Baptist School plays a critical role in preserving the school’s place
as one of the city’s best private institutions for quality education and affordability. Private support
touches every corner of campus from scholarships to professional development for faculty to improving
technology. The 2014-2015 Loyalty Fund exceeded the goal of $125,000! Thanks to our dedicated
supporters, we raised over $180,000! The funds were used to make improvements to the school’s
technology needs, enhance existing school programs and provide continuing education and professional
training for teachers.
Students enjoyed the Boosterthon fundraiser which raised
over $20,000.00 for technology needs.
