Steve Schidrich, Principal

Mr. Schidrich can be reached by email or phone: 843-689-4800.

I have been the proud Principal of Hilton Head Island High School since August of 2019.  I have been with the Beaufort County School District since 1999.  My education career began in 1996 when I became a Social Studies teacher for the New York City Board of Education.  My wife Kim and I moved to Hilton Head in 1999.  I was a Social Studies teacher at HHIHS from 1999 through 2012.  I was the head JV Baseball Coach at HHIHS from 2000 through 2004.  While teaching at Hilton Head High I was the Department Head of Social Studies for 10 years.  While at HHIHS I taught almost every subject including teaching IB Theory of Knowledge for 10 years.  In 2012 I moved to Bluffton Middle School as an Assistant Principal and served in that position for 7 years.  While there I always longed to return to HHIHS.  In August of 2019 I was named by the Beaufort School District Board School Board as Principal of HHIHS.  I am excited to help our students grow academically and socially to prepare them for their post high school endeavors.

Go Seahawks!!!!!!

HHIHS Annual Garage Sale - CANCELLED

The annual "World's Largest" Garage Sale put on by HHIHS is cancelled for the next two years due to construction of the new school.  Please do not contact the office.  Once construction is finalized, and a new parking lot is built, the intent is to restore the garage sale event.  Stay tuned for updates as construction ends.
