For over four decades, Mrs. Darlene Graham has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of students at Hallsboro-Artesia. She has made countless sacrifices for the community surrounding her alma mater and has continually served by giving back to the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe.
As of yesterday, Mrs. Graham has officially retired from HAES—but we know she will never truly be a stranger in Panther Country. She will continue to share her knowledge and advocate for the acknowledgement and betterment of Native Americans across North Carolina.
We love you, Mrs. Darlene. Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement!

Columbus County Schools will be in remote instruction on Monday, February 2, 2026, due to the approaching winter storm. Students should check Google Classroom for assignments and contact their teachers if they have any questions. We will continue to monitor conditions and make a decision regarding Tuesday as conditions develop.
Please monitor social media, school websites, Remind, and—most importantly—download the Columbus County Schools mobile app to receive the latest information and updates.
