Carol Hill For Florence 1

District 8

About Me

In August of 1989, I moved from Wisconsin to begin teaching at South Florence High School. Over the decades, I served as a teacher, coach, Freshman Academy Coordinator and Principal of SFHS. I continued to support SFHS when I became the Florence Adult Education Director. Thirty-seven years later, I am still commited to supporting students and families of Florence 1 Schools (F1S). As an adjunct professor for the English and Speech Departments at Francis Marion University, I teach dual-credit high school students from F1S and the surrounding area at The Continuum. I respectfully ask for your vote on November 3, 2026 that I might represent you on the F1S School Board.
