York Prep High School proudly welcomes Mr. Marquis Lynch as our new Business and Computer Science Teacher. Welcome to our Patriot family!

Caroline Wilks, a rising senior, led a National Honor Society service project to collect donations and quarters for the MUSC Health Nurse Home of Chester. The donations included snacks, treats, paper products, party decorations, picture frames, word search puzzles, and personal care items. Why quarters you may ask? Over one hundred dollars in quarters were collected to be used for the residents' bingo games and snacks from the vending machines. Thank you to all the families who generously contributed, and a special shout out to Caroline for making a positive impact in our community! ❤️ #WeAreYorkPrep #YorkPrepExperience #YorkPrepHS #FromRootstoBloom #PatriotDNA
