The South Carolina Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA) requires middle schools to implement an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) for all 8th grade students. These plans are determined during a scheduled meeting with your child's guidance counselor, Mrs. Williams. At this meeting we will be creating academic/career goals for your child and selecting their 9th grade high school courses. It is strongly encouraged that a parent/guardian attends the meeting with their child so they can be involved in the high school planning process. To schedule the IGP meeting visit

https://calendly.com/kimwilliamswms/individualized-graduation-plan-meetings to book your in-person appointment with Mrs. K. Williams at Waccamaw Middle School. All IGP’s must be completed by Friday, April 26, 2024.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at kiwilliams@gcsd.k12.sc.us or at 843-237-0106. I look forward to meeting with you and your child to help plan for their future.
