South Carolina Teenage Republicans

The Home of South Carolina's Next Generation of Republican Leaders

The South Carolina Teenage Republicans (South Carolina TARS) is the official state federation of National Teenage Republicans (TARS), the official organization for high school Republicans. 

Whether you are looking to join other conservative students, start a chapter at your high school, or become more involved in the Republican Party, South Carolina TARS provides the leadership training, resources, and opportunities to help you make a difference.

For more than 60 years, Teenage Republicans have developed future elected officials, campaign staff, community leaders, and conservative activists. Today, South Carolina students continue that tradition by building strong chapters, serving their communities, and promoting the principles of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise, and a strong America.
