Blythewood Schools

Our mission in Richland Two is to create meaningful, engaging and relevant learning experiences for our students. We welcome and encourage families and the community to join us as a partner in our children’s educational process.
 
Richland Two has a strong history in providing excellent programs in academics, athletics and the arts. We believe that there is a direct correlation between the quality of work students are asked to do and their willingness to do it. By providing every child the opportunity to learn in a variety of ways and to demonstrate their learning to their peers, teachers, parents and community, we have established the foundation they need to carry their love for learning beyond their years with us. From the classroom to the boardroom, we are creating the Richland School District Two framework, focused on engaging work.
 
This past year, a District Design Writing Team drafted The Richland Two Story. Its theme is based on three words: inquire, ignite and inspire. These action words best describe what we seek to do every day in our classrooms.
 
We are a school district that knows the value of its people. Through building relationships with students, staff, parents and the community, Richland Two fosters a joy for learning. Since 1926, with our first school in Dentsville, Richland School District Two has grown tremendously in population and academic success. Our district’s culture of excellence is built on a foundation of doing what’s best for kids. Meeting the needs of every child - that’s who we are and what we do. Join us on this journey as we inquire, ignite and inspire.
 

Building on natural curiosity and the freedom to explore, we encourage students to inquire and ask questions about their world. Those questions guide our instructional design. Through their insight and the courage to research answers themselves, our students transform classrooms into centers of learning designed to meet the needs of the 21st century.
 
Steeped in the latest technologies, hands-on and student-driven experiences ignite the joy in learning. Teachers facilitate student interaction, movement, and meaningful conversation. We collaborate to customize learning to meet the individual needs of students by engaging staff, parents, community members and business partners as active participants.
 
We inspire our learners to extend themselves into the realm of all possibilities. Kids are encouraged to think independently as they make connections to real-world challenges. They are motivated to be life-long learners through work that is personally meaningful.
 
In Richland Two, we love to ask, “What’s next?” and “How can we improve this together?” Continuous reflection enables us to determine our next chapter as a district. Join us on this journey as we inquire, ignite and inspire.

 
Sincerely,
Katie Brochu, Ed.D.
Superintendent
