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:
“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
—Wilfred M. McClay, educator, author. The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, p. 4, University of North Carolina Press (1994)
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
