H.E. Corley Elementary School Leadership Magnet & Montessori Magnet

🛫✨ **Cleared for Takeoff: Ready to Learn. Ready to Lead. Ready to Soar.** ✨🛫

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at H. E. Corley Elementary School!

As the proud home of the Classy Crocs, we are preparing for a year filled with learning, leadership, growth, and limitless possibilities. Whether students are learning in our traditional classrooms or exploring concepts through Montessori materials, every child will be challenged, supported, and empowered to reach new heights.

At HEC, we believe leadership is for everyone. Through the 7 Habits, students learn to be proactive, set goals, work together, think win-win, and find their voice while inspiring others to do the same. These habits help our students become confident learners, compassionate leaders, and responsible citizens both inside and outside the classroom.

Just like a paper airplane launched with purpose, our students are learning that small actions, kind hearts, strong character, and daily choices can carry them farther than they ever imagined. ❤️✈️ Every lesson, every leadership opportunity, and every act of service helps prepare them to make a positive impact on their school, community, and the world.

As a Lighthouse School, we are committed to shining a light on the strengths and potential within every child. Together, we will nurture curious minds, courageous leaders, and lifelong learners who are ready to navigate the future with confidence.

So buckle up, Classy Crocs—the runway is clear and the possibilities are endless!

🌞📚 Sun-kissed Stories & Summer Smiles! 📚🌞

Today our Corley Crocs enjoyed a relaxing morning of reading, listening, and learning during HEC Summer Library time! Students and families gathered for a special read aloud, shared the joy of books, and discovered that summer is the perfect time to slow down and get lost in a great story.

“Relax, Read, Repeat - Summer Adventures Begin with a Book!”

Thank you to all of our families who joined us today. We can’t wait to see everyone at our next Summer Library event!

Join us today! We hope to see you.

Join us next week ~ June 10th for HEC Summer Library Time.

Looking for something fun and educational for your child this summer?☀️

The South Carolina Department of Education has created a collection of SC250 Summer Activities to help students and families explore South Carolina’s role in American history as we prepare to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary!

From interactive activities to history-based learning opportunities, this is a great way to keep kids engaged over the summer while having fun.
