East Clarendon Middle-High School is a combined public school located in the town of Turbeville, South Carolina. It is a branch of the Clarendon County School District Four.
Before 1948, there were three schools located on the eastern side of Clarendon County: Gable High School (Gable, South Carolina), Salem High School (New Zion, South Carolina), & Turbeville High School (Turbeville, South Carolina). In 1949, Gable and Salem were consolidated to create Black River High School. Then in 1952, Black River and Turbeville were consolidated to create what is known today as East Clarendon High School. The school made its inaugural start in September of that year at what was the former Turbeville High School building, which was built in 1938.
In the summer of 1970, the South Carolina Department of Education declared mandatory action for the school to integrate with Walker-Gamble High School, then an all-black high school located in New Zion, South Carolina, following the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
In 1997, a US$5.2 million referendum was passed, allowing then-Clarendon County School District Three to demolish the former building in order to reconstruct a new building for East Clarendon Middle School. The former building was deemed energy-deficient and too expensive to continue maintaining.
The majority of its current establishment was opened on August 14, 2000, the start of its 2000-2001 school year. The media center was completed in January 2001. A new extension was also added to the high school, which was completed the following month.
The school has chapters that are affiliates of the following organizations: the National Beta Club, the National FFA Organization and the Science Olympiad.
The school offers the following sports: Baseball, Basketball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Softball, Tennis, Track and Volleyball.
