Today marks the final day of school for Horry County Schools students and the close of another successful school year. Throughout the year, our students, teachers, staff, and families worked together to support learning, celebrate achievements, and create meaningful experiences across our schools.

Aynor High School’s Kasen Shaw captured a state title at the 2026 SCHSL State Track and Field Championships, winning the Class AAA Boys Pole Vault championship.

Congratulations to Kasen on an incredible accomplishment and for proudly representing Aynor High School and Horry County Schools on the state stage.

Congratulations to Loris High and Aynor High on becoming Cognia STEM Certified Schools! The Lions and Blue Jackets bring the number of STEM Certified HCS high schools up to ten! 

Five AHS students (L-R Peyton Dantzler, Olivia Orfant, Parker Jones, Emma Lee Graham, and Hannah Benton) participated in SC All-State Chorus at Winthrop University. They auditioned in the fall and were selected based on scores in an individual song audition and sight-reading evaluation. While at Winthrop, they participated in rehearsals for 3 days with experts in the field of choral music and managed to have some fun too!

Upon returning to Aynor High, they have been able to share their knowledge and experiences to help build skills and increase achievement of the entire group. The SC All-State process has been around for many years. For Mrs. Scarlet Whittington, experiencing SC All-State Chorus changed the entire trajectory of her life...it was one of the driving forces in her decision to become a choir director. She is most grateful to have had this opportunity as a student and to help provide this experience for her students! We are super proud of them.

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