School supplies
Our available school supply lists are for students attending elementary and middle schools. High school students will receive information from their teachers regarding the school supplies that are needed for each class.
Remember: The SC Sales Tax Free Weekend is August 1-3, 2025.
During the annual Tax Free Weekend (also known as the Sales Tax Holiday), a variety of purchases are exempt from the state's 6% Sales Tax and any applicable local taxes. Tax-free items range from clothing, accessories, and shoes to school supplies, backpacks, and computers. As long as an item is eligible, it is tax-free whether purchased in-store or online.
Clear Backpacks
Clear bags are required for all HCS schools for the 2025-2026 school year. Visit our Clear Bag webpage for more information.
