Hanahan High School is a public high school located in Hanahan, South Carolina, United States. It serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Berkeley County School District. The principal is Ric Raycroft. The mascot is the hawk.
Hanahan High School was opened in Fall 1958 with 282 students, but demand quickly exceeded its capacity. An additional eight-room portion was begun on June 20, 1960 along the northern side of the original building.[2] In 1969 another addition was made; a science wing of 11,000 square feet was added to the eastern end of the original building.[3] Most of the original structure and additions were demolished and rebuilt starting in 2000 according to plans by F.W. Architects, Inc.[4]
Hanahan High School participates in athletics in Region 8-AAA, moving up from Region 6-AA in 2012. The school has won several state championships. In 1973,1975, and 1976, the baseball team won the Class AAA state championship. In 1997 the men's soccer team won the Class AA state championship under the guidance of Coach (now principal) Ric Raycroft. More recently, the softball team won the 2008 Class AA State Championship, the wrestling team won the 2011 and 2012 Class AA State Championship, and both the boys' and girls' track and field teams won the 2011 Class AA State Championship. In 2016, the Hanahan boys' tennis team won their first Class AAA State Championship.
The Hanahan Hawks football team had a region-winning streak of 46 games. That was the second longest streak in the state of South Carolina (1st was Stratford High School, 51 games). The streak ended with a loss at Andrews High School 26-28 in 2006.
