It is with mixed emotions D3 shares that Coach McManus, Head Boys Basketball Coach and Athletic Director at Broome High School, will be the new Athletic Director at Myrtle Beach High School in Horry County effective July 1, 2026. While we certainly understand and support his decision to be closer to family, his presence in our athletic programs, school, and community will be greatly missed.
Coach McManus has made a lasting impact on our student-athletes through his dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
During his tenure at Broome High School from 1999-2010, Coach McManus helped lead the boys basketball team to several championships, including three Regional Championships (2004, 2005, 2006), two Upper State Championships (2005, 2006), and a State Championship (2005).
Coach McManus returned to Broome High School as Athletic Director and Head Boys Basketball Coach in 2023. By February 2025, he helped lead the Centurions to another Regional Championship. In September 2025, McManus was named Region 3 AAA Athletic Director of the Year.
We wish Coach McManus nothing but the best in this next chapter and know he will continue to make a difference in the lives of students, athletes, coaches, and the school community in Myrtle Beach.

Broome High School students had the opportunity today to hear from Lee Ferrell, Director of the Language and International Business Program at Clemson University.

Today is Maintenance and Ground Workers Appreciation Day, and we want to give a special shout-out to our amazing Maintenance and Grounds team!
Rain or shine, they wear many hats and keep our schools running smoothly and looking their best!
Most recently, during the snow and ice storms, they were the first ones at each building, working to get our schools ready so students and staff could return as quickly and safely as possible.
Yesterday, Cannons Elementary School celebrated them with an appreciation luncheon — and our team even had a visit with D3 "junior members"!
To our Maintenance and Grounds team: thank you for all that you do. Today and every day!
