Educational Pathway Options:

Hilton Head Island High School (HHIHS) provides students the opportunities to develop the world class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. HHIHS is an IB World School. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program spans all grade levels by offering two components: the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ninth and tenth graders, and the Diploma Programme (IBDP) for eleventh and twelfth graders. IB coursework focuses on critical thinking and writing skills, ensuring that students are better prepared for postsecondary education and employment. Students are eligible for an IB Diploma after completing six courses and exams from the variety of IB areas. The IB programs offered at HHIHS encourage students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to work both individually and in a collaborative setting to creatively come up with innovative ideas and solutions.

CHANGEMAKERS is a new school-wide initiative tied to the IB programs that already make HHIHS a unique place to learn. By expanding world language immersion, PLTW course offerings, and incorporating the AVID program, students are better prepared for a changing global landscape. The featured STEM program at HHIHS is the Computer Science/Cybersecurity Pathway through Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Also offered in our Career and Technology Education (CTE) fields are the Culinary Arts and Travel and Tourism/Event Management pathways. HHIHS also offers Advanced Placement (AP) opportunities as well as Dual Enrollment through the BCSD partnership with USCB and the Technical College of the Lowcountry. AP courses allow students to earn college credit upon completion of the course and passing the AP exam for that subject area.
