Richland One has two new Flagship Schools of Promise, plus one renewal

Richland One has two of the 10 schools in South Carolina that have earned new Flagship Schools of Promise status for 2004-05, as well as one of the 17 statewide that have earned renewal of their Flagship status.

A.C. Moore Elementary and St. Andrews Middle Schools are the latest additions to the list in Richland One. Lewis Greenview Elementary earned its renewal. This brings to nine the number of Flagship Schools of Promise in the district. The other schools are: Hopkins Middle; Sanders Middle; Keenan High; Bradley Elementary; Hand Middle; and Crayton Middle.

Flagship Schools of Promise’s goal is to ensure that students have access to the five fundamental resources defined by the program: an ongoing relationship with an adult; a safe place to learn and grow; a healthy start; a marketable skill; and an opportunity to give back to society through service.

All 27 of this year’s schools will be recognized at the Summer Leadership Institute, June 20-25, at Myrtle Beach.
