MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, Dr. Charlie Burry
 The mission of Hartsville High School can be summarized in the phrase "Preparing for the Future by Learning Every Day." Everything we do at our school is related in some manner to that mission. We want each one of our students, regardless of background or ability, to have the opportunity and encouragement to attain an outstanding education. Having each one of our students graduate and achieve his/her full potential while in our care and under our influence at Hartsville High School is our goal.
The school climate at Hartsville High School is summarized in the phrase "relationships based on respect." That is absolutely the key to having the safe and orderly school that we all want, having the focus on learning that we desire in our classrooms, and having our students develop the healthy personal relationships and solid character traits that we also want them to learn at our school. If everyone is intent on preparing for the future by learning every day while building relationships based on respect, every student who attends Hartsville High School can achieve a great education and have a good time doing it.
We appreciate your visiting our website, and we hope you are interested in becoming a part of our Red Fox Family. Please call on our administrative team, our faculty, and our staff at anytime that we can be of help to you.
