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.

The anchor has found it's way back to the front of the HHIHS campus!  Our new look is taking shape out front.  Workers have been finishing the drop-off lane and landscaping this May.

Mr. Schidrich gave a group of AVID students the grand tour of the new building.  Students tried out the new lockdown flooring, collaborative spaces, second floor of the library and all the stairs!

 

The new school building will house nearly everyone in the 2026-2027 school year while they renovate and tear down portions of the old building.  Phase 1 is close to ending.  Get ready for Phase 2.
