History

Hanahan High School was opened in the fall of 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.[4] In 1969, a science wing of 11,000 square feet was added to the eastern end of the original building.[5] Most of the original structure and additions were demolished and rebuilt starting in 2000 according to plans by F.W. Architects, Inc.[6]

Athletics

Hanahan High School participates in athletics in Region 8-AAA, having moved 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 former principal) Ric Raycroft. The softball team won the 2008 Class AA State Championship, the wrestling team won the 2011 and 2012 Class AA State Championship by coach Ray Adkins, and both the boys' and girls' track and field teams won the 2011 Class AA State Championship. The boys track team won the Class AAA State Championship in 2015 and 2016. The spring of 2016, the Hanahan boys' tennis team won their first Class AAA State Championship and the Softball team also won another 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 (first was Stratford High School, 51 games). The streak ended with a loss at Andrews High School 26-28 in 2006.. Coach David Morbitzer took over as new head coach for the 2018 football season.
