From the Principal

Heyward Career and Technology Center serves high school and middle school students in Richland County School District One in the areas of Business, Marketing and Information Systems; Engineering and Industrial Technology; and Health and Human Services. Our staff works diligently to provide high-quality instruction that prepares students for future endeavors. We have four honors programs, Richland One Works (a school-based enterprise), Richland One EXCEL Academy (on-time graduation program) and nine state/nationally certified programs that allow students to make a smooth transition beyond high school. We have received many awards in the past. Two awards that we are particularly proud of are "Red Carpet School" and "Palmetto Gold/Silver". We welcome you to visit our campus so you can experience the great things that are happening at Heyward!
