Hello MCSD Family,

As I am sure you have heard, a fire started at McCormick HIgh School yesterday evening after 11 pm. We believe the fire began due to a lightning strike. Firefighters have worked tirelessly to contain the fire all through the evening, and we are extremely grateful for their service. Many firefighters and first responders are still on site. We know this information is difficult to hear, and we promise to keep you informed as updates become available. As we navigate logistics for the final week of school,including high school graduation, we will share those with you too. Please pray for our first responders and entire community.

Sincerely,

Dr. Hembree

Yesterday was phenomenal. Karmony Seigler and Carter Mims were chosen to attend the SCHSL Middle School Leadership Summit in Columbia, yesterday. They represented McCormick Middle School very well. The two were active with the SCHSL SAAC and other present Middle schoolers learning about leadership and what can they bring back to their schools. Along with that, Makel Tillman has now been named the 2026-2027 President of the SCHSL SAAC.
