⚠️ UPDATE:
We are happy to share that the tornado warning for our area has now been lifted.
Students have safely returned to their classrooms, and we will continue to monitor weather conditions and emergency channels throughout the day. As an added precaution, all outdoor activities will remain canceled for the time being. Out of an abundance of caution, students from our modular building will spend the morning learning in the elementary building until 11am.
Thank you for your patience and support as our staff worked quickly to follow our safety procedures and keep students secure during the warning.
As always, the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. We will continue to keep a close eye on conditions and will notify families if any additional updates are needed.
⚠️UPDATE AS OF 10:02AM; TORNADO WARNING FOR AIKEN COUNTY HAS EXPIRED. SEE OUR MOST RECENT POST FOR MORE DETAILS.
---------------------
HCA Families,
We wanted to provide a quick update as severe weather, including a tornado warning, continues to move through our area.
As a precaution, all outdoor activities and any movement between buildings have been canceled. Students who were in our modular cottage have been safely moved into the main building.
At this time, all students are in the designated secure hallway areas that we practice during our tornado drills. Our staff is with them, and students are safe and calm.
Our team continues to closely monitor weather conditions and local emergency channels. The safety of our students and staff is always our highest priority, and we will continue to take any necessary steps as conditions evolve.
We will provide another update once the weather threat has passed and we are able to return to normal activities.
Thank you for your continued support and we will be back in touch soon.

🎓 Help a Stallion Soar — Sponsor a Senior Scholarship!
🐎 As Horse Creek Academy continues to grow, so do the opportunities for our students. This spring, we will celebrate our third graduating class, and with our high school program expanding each year, we are excited to launch a new initiative: HCA Senior Scholarships.
💙 We are inviting local businesses, organizations, and community members to sponsor a scholarship for a graduating Stallion. These scholarships can support students pursuing college, technical school, or workforce certification programs, helping with expenses like tuition, books, or training fees while recognizing the leadership, service, and academic achievements of our seniors.
🚀 Supporting a scholarship is a meaningful way to invest in the future of a local student and be part of their journey beyond Horse Creek Academy.
If you or your organization would like to sponsor a scholarship, you can submit one here:
👉 https://forms.office.com/r/j5xUGxkRGV
💬 Know a business that loves supporting students and community? Tag them in the comments! They might be the reason a Stallion’s dream takes flight. ✈️
Thank you for helping our students step confidently into their future. We are the Village. 💙

📚✨ The Village is READING!
🌟 Our students are reading more than ever during our Read-A-Thon — and the momentum is incredible!
So far, we’ve raised almost $27,000 and logged over 75,000 minutes of reading. That means we are getting closer and closer to our big goals of $40,000 and 100,000 minutes! 🎯
But we can’t cross that finish line without you. 🫵
One of the easiest (and most powerful) ways to help is by sharing your student’s personal reading donation page on Facebook. When you share their link, you’re not just asking for support — you’re celebrating their hard work, their progress, and their love of reading. 💙
📲 Use the link below to share your student’s page with friends and family:
https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/tool/UDaGXp/3
Every share matters. Every minute counts. Every dollar moves us forward.
