Socastee High School

I moved to Myrtle Beach when my son was just under 2 years old from New York City, researched the schools all along the Grand Strand - Myrtle Beach, and found Socastee had the highest national academic rating of all the schools in the area. Top 5% of public high schools as rated by Newsweek for 3 consecutive years. Academically challenging, SHS has both an International Bacceluarate Program and an Honors/AP tract. They do not allow your kids to eat junk food during lunch or even buy soda - YES! My choice to build my home in this area was based upon my son's education, and it has been the right choice. He participated in the honors program at Socastee High School, Lacrosse, enjoyed extra carricular activites, and is now an honors student in college. This school is far ahead of most. The Principal is as involved with the students as if they were his own children. He can be seen at any SHS eventm and is avalable to meet with parents. The rest of the staff & teachers are MOST EXCELLENT. I cannot say enough about the wonderful and dedicated educators. I appreciate everything they have done to educate my son, and give him the tools he needs for college as well as life. ILSHS!

SHS was a wonderful school. Academically challenging, SHS has both an International Bacceluarate Program and an Honors/AP tract. The choir is truly a gem at this school, with a nationally ranked chamber choir as well as annual Madrigal Dinners. Two people to seek out at the school are Mr. Morrisson and Mrs. Shuford. These two individual care about both academic, spiritual, and intellectual growth.
