Use the link below to submit a photo and a brief description and it will be reviewed to add to the monthly edition of The School Scoop!

Richmond County Schools proudly announces the successful start of the 2023-2024 academic year at Richmond Early College. Today, students, faculty, and parents were filled with excitement and optimism as they began their journey of growth and learning.

The district leadership, including Superintendent Dr. Joe Ferrell, visited the campus to extend warm wishes and support to the school community. Dr. Ferrell expressed immense pride in the school's commitment to academic excellence and its unique opportunity for students to earn college credits while in high school.

Richmond Early College's innovative and personalized approach to education continues to garner recognition, making it a beacon of success within the community.

As the academic year progresses, Richmond County Schools remains dedicated to nurturing every student's potential and ensuring a nurturing environment for his/her success.

During the recent summer season, Richmond County Schools offered a diverse range of educational and engaging camps to cater to different interests and needs. STEM Camps focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, aiming to foster hands-on learning and creativity in these fields.

The Summer Bridge transition camps provided a supportive environment for students transitioning between grade levels, helping them adapt smoothly to new academic challenges.

We also hosted CTE, RTA, Acceleration, and Credit Recovery Camps to further support our students this summer.

The Summer Leadership Retreat at Big Pine Retreat proved to be a transformative experience for principals and district leaders, emphasizing effective team building through stepping out of their comfort zones. Engaging in an array of activities such as low ropes courses and team-building exercises, participants were encouraged to collaborate, communicate, and problem-solve in unfamiliar settings. By fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose, the retreat not only strengthened individual leadership skills but also promoted a cohesive and supportive leadership team poised to guide and inspire their educational community.

"Stuff the Bus," a heartwarming community event hosted by the United Way of Richmond County at Walmart, exceeded all expectations with its incredible success! Thanks to the remarkable support of dedicated sponsors and volunteers, we gathered an impressive array of school supplies that will undoubtedly make a significant impact for students in need. The pens, notebooks, backpacks, and more will play a crucial role as students return to school, setting them up for a brighter academic journey. This achievement is a true testament to the spirit of unity and compassion within our community, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this wonderful cause.
