The South Carolina High School League‘s Executive Committee will meet September 17, 2015 to hear appeals regarding the Reclassification/Realignment proposals for 2016-2018. A school’s appeal must include an alternative realignment proposal. The proposal must include all regions affected by the proposed change(s).
