By Paul Bowers, Post and Courier

With more than 2,000 South Carolina students enrolled in the 2015-16 school year, physical education has become one of the most popular courses offered through VirtualSC since the online program began in 2006. Students clamored for the course this summer, and some ended up on a waiting list as the S.C.
