Carolina High School and Academy (Carolina, Carolina High, C-Train, or CHS) is a public secondary school in Greenville, South Carolina, United States, serving ninth through twelfth graders. The school is part of the Greenville County School District, with admission primarily based on the locations of students' homes and the magnet program.
As part of a district building plan, Carolina moved in 2006 to a new facility with laboratory spaces, two gyms, music and band rooms, better lighting and HVAC. The schools magnet programs include an engineering academy program led by Mr. Roberson, and a Health academy.
Carolina High students feed from Tanglewood Middle School as well as from other schools from the school district. The school was desegregated in 1968 and Gwendolyn Dandy McGowens, a social studies teacher, was the first African American teacher on the Carolina Academy staff.

Famous quotes containing the words carolina and/or academy:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
