Horry County Schools will host Transportation Day on Thursday, July 30, to help families confirm or update student bus transportation information before the start of the 2026-27 school year. Families who have experienced transportation changes since completing online registration or who need to confirm their student’s bus route, bus stop, pickup time, or drop-off time are encouraged to visit the bus office that serves their child’s school. Bus offices will be open from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. to assist families.

This past school year, HCS students read 68 million pages, and they're still going strong. They've already logged around 900 thousand pages this summer, and there's plenty of summer left. Don't forget to participate in our Summer Reading Challenge and log your pages in Beanstack ASAP!

Discover HCS' plans to reduce screen-time and promote balanced, engaging learning experiences in our classrooms.

Congratulations to Caitlyn Black and Alastair Wriglesworth of Loris High; Nicholas Wnuk of St. James High; and Anthony Giorlando, Robert Hucks, and Alexander Nikolov of Scholars Academy High!

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) has awarded these students National Merit Scholarships in recognition of their superior academic achievements.

Last fall, NMSC named more than 16,000 Semifinalists. Over 15,000 students met the very high academic standards and other requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. While the NMSC also offers business- and college-sponsored scholarships to finalists, only 2,500 students each year receive the organization's premier scholarship. These individuals are the finalists judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of 21 Horry County Schools students as Finalists in the 71st annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These HCS students will have an opportunity to win one of over 6,900 National Merit Scholarships worth a combined total of nearly $26 million. 

Our calendars for both the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 school years are now available on our Calendar page.
