Hammond School, originally James H. Hammond Academy, is a pre-K through 12 private school in Columbia, South Carolina. The school, which was founded in 1966 as a segregation academy,[4][5] is known for its athletic and academic accomplishments.[6] The school's namesake, James Henry Hammond – a brutal slaveholder known for his sexual exploitation of enslaved women and ruining his four teenage nieces with his sexual "familiarities"[7][8] – has been a source of enduring controversy.[9]
The Hammond School's leader is Andy North[1] and it is accredited by the South Carolina Independent School Association (SAIS) and the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).[10]
