Horry County Schools is committed to celebrating the Class of 2020. The Horry County Board of Education, the District and school leaders appreciate all the seniors and parents who reached out to us. Graduation options and suggestions that are similar to those that are being discussed across the country will be taken into consideration. Options include, but are not limited to, the use of football stadiums, alternate facilities, as well as the possible scheduling of an in-person ceremony at a later date. We are all dedicated to finding a satisfactory resolution in the upcoming weeks.
