History
HHCA was founded in 1979 and sits on a 13 acre campus on the north end of Hilton Head Island. HHCA is the only school in Beaufort County accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools (ACSI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
HHCA serves students in grades K-12 and had an enrollment of 412 students for the 2011-2012 academic year. There were 113 students in the Lower School, 142 in the Middle School and 157 in the Upper School giving a 10 to 1 student to teacher ratio. The Mission statement of HHCA is: "In partnership with the Christian family, the students of HHCA will mature in their faith, demonstrate Christian character, identify and develop their God-given talents, be academically and intellectually prepared to engage the world and thereby impact generations to the glory of God."
We offer 9 Advanced Placement classes and an even larger selection of honors classes. We also have several clubs and activities at the middle and upper school level.
HHCA has 28 athletic teams spread among our middle and upper school. In the 2011-2012 school year we had one State Championship in Football and two Second Place State Championships in Boys Golf and Boys Tennis.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
