GENERAL INFORMATION: Richland County School District One. Ideally located in the center

great place to learn, live, work and play. Our District covers 482 square miles and encompasses

urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods in Columbia, South Carolina’s capital city. With more

than 21,000 students enrolled, Richland One is the state’s sixth-largest school district.

Recognizing that our students learn in different ways and have different interests, we offer an

exciting and challenging array of educational opportunities that include Montessori programs,

International Baccalaureate programs, visual and performing arts, foreign language, advanced

academic programs, robotics and aerospace education. Many of our programs serve as models

for others across the state and nation. Richland One’s long-standing tradition of excellence dates

to the District’s earliest beginnings in the late-1800s. Year after year, our graduates leave our

schools and go on to attend some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities. The

Richland One Class of 2023 received more than $77 million in scholarships. Our community

consistently shows its commitment to nurturing educational excellence. Just walk into any of our

schools and you’ll see evidence of the vigorous community support that our district enjoys. Thanks

to Richland One voters, our students go to school in state-of-the-art facilities built new or renovated

through our Schools for the 21st Century bond construction program. Community members from

all walks of life - parents, retirees, elected officials, college students, business people, military,

faith-based organizations - also share their time and talents every day by serving as volunteers in
