As much as I wanted to say how Hanahan High was amazing, I couldn't. The students are cruel and racist, the teachers don't care, and the curriculum is questionable. For the two years I went to this school, I was miserable and depressed. However, it is my home town, and normally I'd do my best to defend

She was diagnosed with breast cancer, but continued to teach her students in between her chemo sessions. Another exception would be Ms. Tillman. Another Science teacher, but for 10th grade. She may seem annoying at times, but she really tries her best to get her students to pass. Read less

The only thing that I can see that it needs improvement is 'favoritism' that is widely known in this state.

I want to say that Hanahan High School is a great school. The interaction of student, faculty, staff, and parents are great. The parents support the school in all that it does.

This school is indeed an great school. The students and faculty are well educated and safety is not an issue. Several reviews have been made about football. This sport recieves more funding because it bring in a massive amount of the money. Wrestling draws little to no crowds which mean they bring in

I'm a 2003 graduate, and although I agree that most of the school's funding is spent on football instead of on other equally great extracurricular activities (our Academic Team and JROTC for example) the environment was pleasant; there was certainly learning to be had!

The teachers were some of the most helpful I've ever dealt with, and the school offered programs not found in others in the Charleston area (such as engineering and computer programming). I would love for more parents to get involved in coming years to ensure dollars are spent on students who are there to become more than athletes. Parents need to push for money to be spent on challenging those youngsters, AP classes, and getting kids into college. If people speak up, surely good things will come. Read less
