HCS students have once again outperformed the state on their SAT scores, and also outperformed themselves from last year!

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of 20 Horry County Schools students as Semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These HCS students are among approximately 16,000 Semifinalists who have an opportunity to compete for nearly 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $24 million.

HCS Superintendent Clifford Jones is once again challenging students to read! If you haven’t already started logging pages on Beanstack, make sure you start soon because, for this year’s Superintendent’s Reading Challenge, HCS is partnering with the Bojangles Foundation to bring amazing prizes to our top readers!

For another consecutive year, Horry County Schools students outperformed state averages on key academic benchmarks. According to results recently released by the South Carolina Department of Education, Horry County Schools students surpassed their peers statewide on three major measures during the past school year.
