Golden Strip Career Center (GSCC) is one of four part-time secondary vocational schools in the Greenville County School District located in Greenville, South Carolina, United States. The school offers a variety of programs, each with a focus on some specific career field, and students can earn certifications, licenses, and even college credit following the completion of such programs. Most students at Golden Strip Career Center are also enrolled in non-alternative high schools in the school district; therefore, school bus transportation between these schools and the career center is provided on school days.[1]

History

Golden Strip Career Center was named after "the Golden Strip," an informal collective title for the cities of Fountain Inn, Simpsonville, and Mauldin; though the school technically is addressed in Greenville, it is just outside of Mauldin.

The firefighting program at the school was established in January 2013.[2]

On the morning of February 24, 2016, several buildings at the campus were damaged due to a windstorm. No people that were on campus at that time were hurt or injured.[3]

Events

On several occasions, Greenville County School District has held job fairs at the career center, due to a shortage in district employees such as bus drivers and janitors.[5] [6]
