Back to School Open House Dates


There's a new look and new app for Pickens County School District this year! We have redesigned our websites and created a mobile app so you can get updates and have the information you want for your school at your fingertips!


Again this year, Pickens County School District will provide basic school supplies to all students.


Mrs. Chapman, our Ag teacher, has been busy in the Hill City garden this summer! She's sharing the current harvest in our food pantry at the front entrance of the school. Enjoy the fresh squash, zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes and basil!







Pickens County School District will once again have a staggered start to the school year.


In addition to the free summer meals the PCSD provides, the Pickens County Health Department will also hand out free breakfasts and lunches (enough for 5-7 days) for children. The event will run every Tuesday beginning June 22, 2024, from 1:00-3:00 p.m.


The Pickens County Health Department will have a WIC Farmer's Market Day and School Health Fair on 6/11/2024 from 2:00-7:00 p.m. Families will be able to check and update their children's immunizations and obtain 3231 or 3300 forms, if needed.


New books have been added to our Little Free Library! Start your summer reading adventure by visiting today! "Take a book! Share a book!"


Congratulations to Matthew Bearden! Mr. Matthew, as his students call him, is the Pickens County Paraprofessional of the Year! Gabe Gossett presented this recognition from E.S.S. What a well-deserved honor! We are fortunate to have him on Team Hawk.



Happy Last Day of School! We wish our Hill City Hawks and their families a wonderful and safe summer break. Enjoy every moment and we will see you back on the Hill in August!


Wow! Congratulations to these 6 students for their Perfect Attendance this school year! Kimsey, Cora, Sophia, Braxton, Chelsea, and Andy enjoy your new bicycles! May your summer be filled with miles of fun pedaling adventures!


Lost & Found is outside on the sidewalk next to the gym. Please stop by and take a look for your child's missing items!


Congratulations to the Class of 2024! We are so proud of you! Best wishes on all of your future endeavors. Go Dragons!








Congratulations to these reading champions! These students earned the most A.R. points for their grade level. A.R.

We celebrate you and your love of reading!

Congratulations to these fabulous students who have earned the Perserverance Award this week! Good job sticking to the task at hand and striving for success despite facing difficulties. Keep up the great work!



We are Passing the Hawk again! Jacob Pair is recognizing Deputy Kevin Roach, our S.R.O. He explained, "Whether outside on the playground with the students or leading them in a chant in the lunchroom, Officer Roach is always trying to bring joy to the children who walk these halls." Congratulations, Deputy Roach! (Also, thank you to "Cardboard Mrs. Phyllis" for standing in the for trophy presentation!)
