The Ragin Prep Mantles

In an effort to boost morale, and achievement, and establish a culture of excellence, we have established The Ragin Prep Mantles. The Ragin Prep Mantles help scholars develop goal-setting skills, and create an environment that breeds success.

The Mantles: Academic, Service, Culture, engage scholars in and outside the classroom. It is well-known that acceptance to and success in college is not only based upon a student's grades and test scores, but their involvement in extracurricular activities, engagement in their communities, and other contributing factors. Teachers work within the framework of The Mantles to craft culturally relevant lesson plans that promote student engagement, interaction, and enthusiasm.

1. Academic Mantle

● The Academic Mantle focuses on a rigorous course of study that prepares scholars for college. The Academic Mantle aligns with the South Carolina State Standards of Education and the ACT College Readiness Standards. During middle and high school, scholars are equipped with the necessary tools to approach their next academic level with confidence.

2. Service Mantle

● The Service Mantle mandates that all scholars contribute to implementing a community service project during each year of middle and high school. Student leaders are asked to identify an aspect of the community that can be improved, create a plan of improvement, and work with the student body to execute the service project. The Service Mantle gives scholars a sense of compassion and welfare for others and their communities.

3. Culture Mantle

● The Culture Mantle is an example of our commitment to providing scholars with a well-rounded educational experience that prepares them to become global citizens. Our goal is to prepare various campus events and programs that give Each summer we send scholars to enrichment programs hosted by colleges and universities across the southeast. These programs help provide high school scholars with first-hand experience in college classrooms, strengthening their understanding of what it will take to obtain a four-year degree.
