History

In 1961, the Technical Education System in South Carolina began. In 1963, the South Carolina General Assembly created the Horry-Georgetown Commission for Technical Education. Horry-Marion-Georgetown Technical Education Center began with 123 students in 1966. In 1975, the name changed to Horry-Georgetown Technical College as a result of growth and changed emphasis.[5] Horry-Georgetown Technical College now serves Horry and Georgetown Counties, while Marion County is served by Florence-Darlington Technical College.[6]

In 2000, as buildings were torn down at the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, HGTC claimed the Officers Club and Non-Commissioned Officers Club.[7]

The former base hospital became the Dr. Robert E. Speir Jr. Health Education Center on the Myrtle Beach campus,[8] which held its grand opening July 11, 2008.[9] In 2009, HGTC announced the center would get a Шаблон:Convert addition for dental programs.[10] The $7.4 million facility was substantially complete when Myrtle Beach City Council toured it May 8, 2012.[11]

On June 15, 2012, the dedication of the Fred Fore Wildlife Pavilion was held at the Georgetown campus. Fore served as president of Florence-Darlington Technical College for 29 years, and his wife Marilyn Fore, the current HGTC President, worked to develop the pavilion as a forestry classroom.[12]
