Becoming World Citizens...
Richland One has been recognized for many years as a leader in the state for its commitment to helping students appreciate the world and its diversities through the study of foreign languages.

We celebrate our collective efforts to offer all students foreign language instruction with an emphasis on literacy, real-life communication and cultural knowledge and understanding.

Thanks to the members of Richland One's Board of School Commissioners and the administration's unwavering support from the program's inception to the present, the K-12 foreign language program continues to flourish and serve the needs of 23,000 Students in Richland County.
