I have been born and raised in Lancaster, and am also a graduate from Indian Land High School. Currently my children also attend Indian Land schools, one attending high school. The available programs offered just keep getting better and better, and my son loves the sports program. Indian Land high was great when I attended years ago, and it's even more wonderful now. Teachers are great, admin staff is great and all the kids are great. I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience and my son's experience.

As a lifelong resident of the Indian Land community and graduate of Indian Land High School, I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for having the opportunity to be a part of this school system. As a current college student, I feel that without the devotion of my past instructors and the caliber of learning at Indian Land, success on the collegiate level would not be possible. I am currently enrolled in the education program under the University of South Carolina system and hope to one day be able to return to my alma mater and be a part of this remarkable system. Thank you Indian Land.

I am a student at Indian Land High school. It's a pretty good enviornment if you like small classes. There are not a lot of peopel so there is plenty of time for one on one help. I love it.
