Recognizing Extraordinary Examples of Leadership
The REEL Kids Program
Since 2001, HTC has created a connection and relationship with schools throughout our service area, which now includes Horry, Georgetown and Marion counties, through the HTC REEL Kids program. With this program, the Cooperative honors students who demonstrate leadership excellence while overcoming life challenges.
Schools in all three counties, primary through high school, are encouraged to participate by nominating an extraordinary student. To become an HTC REEL Kid, each child, along with his or her teacher, principal or guidance counselor, will have their story documented for sharing with the community. And throughout the spring months, HTC will spotlight our REEL Kids award recipients by releasing their individual stories every weekend via our Facebook page, YouTube channel and Cooperative website.
Our 25th Anniversary celebration took place on Thursday, April 10, 2025 at Medieval Times, Myrtle Beach. The Class of 2025 boasts 83 new members, joining the nearly 1,200 REEL Kids who have come before them.
Do you know or are you a REEL Kid? HTC will be hosting a Reunion at the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game on Saturday, August 9, 2025. Let us know if you’re interested in attending and details will follow in June.
