Grand Strand Story

Horry County Schools is asking families and community members to help shape its next five-year strategic plan. The district’s 2027–2032 planning process includes public conversations and an online questionnaire about the values and priorities that should guide its work. ^[1]

The next listed community meeting is Tuesday, November 17, from 6 to 7:30 PM at Conway High School. Conway Middle School’s announcement invites Conway-area families to learn about the plan and share feedback in person. The high school is at 2301 Church Street in Conway. ^{[2] [3]}

The district says parents, families, students and community members are welcome at the meetings, and no registration is required. That gives residents an opportunity to join the conversation before the new plan is finalized. ^[1]

Residents can also use the district’s Strategic Planning Questionnaire, linked from its planning page. The form includes relationship categories for parents and guardians, community members, business owners and employees, teachers, and other school staff and leaders. ^{[1] [4]}

The questionnaire asks participants to choose up to five guiding values from options including literacy, opportunity, belonging, accountability and well-being. It also asks which belief statements resonate with them and, in one or two words, what Horry County Schools should be known for. An attendance-area question includes options for people who are unsure or live outside the county. ^[4]

The district’s published timeline targets Board approval in April 2027 and a districtwide launch in July 2027. For current meeting information and the questionnaire, use the official planning page in the supporting sources below. All meeting times in this story are Eastern. ^[1]
