 Home of the RED FOXES . . .
    
where we are "Preparing for the Future by Learning Every Day." 


Welcome To Hartsville High School
Hartsville High School continued to provide outstanding educational opportunities to our students during the 2009-10 school year.  The Red Fox Renaissance that began in 2004 continues to develop pride and support among our students, their parents, local business and industry, and our community.  Hartsville High School maintains its focus on our mission of “Preparing for the Future by Learning Every Day.”

After receiving authorization as an International Baccalaureate World School in December 2008, in May 2010 Hartsville High School graduated two full IB diploma candidates and 30 IB certificate candidates.  We currently have over 160 students in grades nine through twelve taking Pre-IB and IB courses while we offer the students of Darlington County the opportunity to benefit from the most challenging and prestigious college preparatory curriculum in the world.  Twenty-two HHS teachers are IB-trained, and sixteen HHS teachers (19.5% of our teaching faculty) hold National Board Certification.

 

Our students continued to excel academically.  Seven seniors qualified for the Palmetto Fellows scholarship, 87 met LIFE scholarship criteria, and 29 met the standard for the HOPE scholarship.  The Academic Booster Club awarded $10,000 in local scholarship money, and total scholarship monies offered to the Hartsville High School Class of 2010 was 5.9 million dollars.

 

Our students also continued to develop talents and achieve at high levels in a variety of extra-curricular activities.  The HHS Math Team won first place at the Florence-Darlington Technical College Mathematics Competition. Various school organizations performed hundreds of service hours in the community.  The HHS Red Regime band program was awarded the Outstanding Performance Award for the third consecutive year, placing first at the AAA Lower State Marching Band Championship and sixth in State Championship competition.  Seven band members made All-State Band, and one student was selected for All-State Orchestra.  The HHS Singers Ensemble earned a superior rating in state competition, and three HHS Singers made All-State.  Beta Club representatives had first and second-place finishes at the SC Beta Club Convention.  Twelve HHS athletic teams made the state playoffs, both boys and girls varsity basketball teams were undefeated Region 6-AAAA Champions, and HHS had a representative in the Shrine Bowl football game.  Fifteen students were recognized as Scholar Athletes by the SC High School League.

 

Hartsville High School is looking forward to the January 2011 completion of a beautiful 2000-seat gymnasium that will serve physical education classes, hold school assemblies and host community programs, and provide an outstanding venue for athletic events.

 

Our philosophy at Hartsville High School is that all students can learn and achieve.  Our entire staff is dedicated to helping every student experience academic success and positive personal growth each day in preparation for a bright future.




 

SAT Scores Exceed

State Average

The College Board and the SC Department of Education has announced a Hartsville High School 2009 average SAT score of 1450 (three parts: critical reading, math, and writing) that exceeds the state average score of 1445 for South Carolina.  The HHS 2009 score is only 43 points away from the national average of 1493.  This score increase is the result of the hard work of our students and teachers, and our school received the Summa Cum Laude Award for meeting the state criteria for "Excellent Improvement."

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL,
Dr. Charlie Burry

principalThe 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.
