Hammond is dedicated to furthering its commitment to best practices in the utilization of technology and its applicability to successful and creative teaching and learning. Broadly respected for the breadth and depth of its academic program and its success in preparing students for college and beyond, Hammond is well positioned as one of the premier independent schools in the Southeast.

Columbia's prime location is in close proximity to the mountains and the coast and other large metropolitan areas such as Charlotte and Atlanta.
