Three Sumter High students graduate with 12 years of perfect attendance
Students are allowed by state law to miss up to 10 days of school per year, but three students from Sumter High School never missed a single one. Darnisha Boone, Molly Duggan and Friendly Gadson were among 72 students in the graduating class of 2013 to achieve this honor.

Since 1979, seniors with 12 years of perfect school attendance have been recognized by the South Carolina Department of Education. They receive certificates and congratulatory letters from State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais.
