D. W. Daniel High School

D. W. Daniel High School (or Daniel High School) is a comprehensive public high school serving students in grades nine through twelve in unincorporated Pickens County, South Carolina, with a Central postal address. Besides Central, it also serves Clemson and Six Mile. It is the one of four high schools administered by the School District of Pickens County (SDPC) (or Pickens 01). The Daniel Lions football team are a multiple time 3A state champion in the SCHSL.

D. W. Daniel High School was named for educator David Wistar Daniel (1867–1961), who taught in public schools for nine years and then taught English for 49 years at Clemson College and eventually served as the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences there.

Daniel High was established in 1955 to consolidate three rural high schools: Central, Clemson and Six Mile. Hence arose the school's motto of E Tribus Unum (Latin: one, out of three).

A new school building replaced the old one in 2012. It was built on the property that had the old building. On June 14 of that year, after the end of the school term, the previous facility was razed.

The facility is at the intersection of South Carolina Highway 133 and Six Mile Highway.

The original 64.7 acres (26.2 ha) campus site served the community until construction of new US$36,691,453 facilities that began in June 2010. The new 227,950 square feet (21,177 m2) academic facilities and its 92.78 acres (37.55 ha) campus opened for the start of the 2012–13 school year at the same campus location as the old facility. The new Daniel High School is built with administration and guidance areas, cafeteria and kitchen, media center, gymnasiums, auditorium and fine arts facilities designed to handle expected growth and to allow for constructing more classrooms if the projected growth occurs. The 2012 building has athletics and fine arts facilities on the first floor, while classrooms are on the second and third floors.

A new Daniel High School Stadium was opened August 2011 on a 23 acres (9.3 ha) tract next to the original Daniel High School. The new football stadium will seat approximately 5,300 people.

The assumed course of study follows the curriculum developed the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE), which requires students to complete 24 credit units before graduation. Students engage in regular and Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and exams. The school is accredited by the SCDE and has been accredited by AdvancED (formerly Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) since 1966.
