Dillon Christian Three Sport Athlete Chloe Powell Named NETC Female Student Athlete Of The Month

Dillon — Chloe Powell is a three-sport student athlete at Dillon Christian who earned all-region honors during the 2023-24 school year in the sports of volleyball and girls’ basketball, and after playing softball for four years she switched to soccer this past Spring.  



Powell has been chosen the May  “NETC Female Student Athlete of the Month.” 

This honor is bestowed through a partnership between the Northeastern Technical College and “The High School Sports Report” with the publication communicating with athletic directors at high schools in the counties of Dillon, Marlboro, and Chesterfield, where NETC serves the needs of high school students seeking to earn dual credits in various subjects that can be transferred to other colleges after a student’s high school graduation.

Powell has taken advantage of the dual credit college courses available through NETC, which has a main campus in Cheraw with several extension campuses located throughout the counties of Chesterfield, Dillon, and Marlboro counties.

“I have taken several online courses so far through the dual credit online courses offered through NETC,” said Powell.  “I definitely recommend that all high school students in Chesterfield, Dillon, and Marlboro Counties take advantage of the dual credit online courses offered to them by NETC.”

Powell, who is a junior at Dillon Christian, has taken Psychology 101, Psychology 201, and American history thus far at the “NETC.” She is currently carrying a 4.237 GPA.

“Taking these online courses at the “NETC” have helped me improve my GPA and taking online courses has also helped me with my time management skills which I will need when I go to college after high school,” said Powell. “I especially enjoyed taking the online American History course because I love having a better understanding the matters that helped develop our nation.”

Powell says she will be taking several more online courses during her senior year at Dillon Christian to become better prepared for college starting in 2025.

Powell has been a two-time all-region selection in basketball and this past season she was also chosen as a North-South all-star. In soccer this past Spring she was an outside defender. In the fall, she saved her favorite thing about playing volleyball was “loving to hit and block at the net an also loving to serve.”

Powell hopes to major in Early Childhood Education after high school with a strong goal of becoming a third- grade teacher. She said she would also love to be a volunteer coach one day.

She has recently applied to South Carolina, Clemson, The College of Charleston, and Frances Marion and she hopes to attend one of these to fulfill her dream of one day being an elementary school teacher.

“Taking online courses through “NETC” has better prepared me for what lies ahead in college and taking these courses helped improved my GPA that will help me pursue academic scholarships also,” said Powell.
