History

Before 1948, there were three schools located on the eastern side of Clarendon County: Gable High School (Gable, South Carolina), Salem High School (New Zion, South Carolina), & Turbeville High School (Turbeville, South Carolina). In 1949, Gable and Salem were consolidated to create Black River High School. Then in 1952, Black River and Turbeville were consolidated to create what is known today as East Clarendon High School. The school made its inaugural start in September of that year.

In the summer of 1970, the South Carolina Department of Education declared mandatory action for the school to integrate with Walker-Gamble High School, then an all-black high school located in New Zion, South Carolina, following the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.

Sports

The school offers the following sports: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Softball, Tennis, and Volleyball.
