DeLoach Center

“The College has enjoyed some exciting moments over the five years since Nancy, Lara and I joined this community but none prouder than this one. The long-time dream of having a state-of-the art athletics center in which our students can learn and compete has been shared not only by members of the Coker College family, but by members of the Hartsville community as well. We are humbled by the generosity of all who have helped to make this dream a reality.”
— Coker College President Robert Wyatt
