learning
We provide students an education with meaningful and appropriately challenging learning experiences. Engagement in such experiences results in the attainment of knowledge and skills that ensure success both in school and beyond

Richland Two promotes continuous improvement in its approach to excellence in schools and beyond. Students benefit from innovative methods that have been studied, vetted, and improved upon annually.
