Richland One commends these students for their outstanding efforts. During their four years in high school they have taken challenging courses and scored high on rigorous exams, and, by doing so, they have increased the likelihood of success in the workplace and further education. Students qualify for the award by completing a college-preparatory course of study in at least two of the three subject areas (i.e., English, mathematics, or science); complete a concentration in a career/technical area, mathematics/science or the humanities; and meet performance goals in all three areas on the HSTW assessment. The Southern Regional Education Board is a multi-state compact for education, founded in 1948. High Schools That Work is the largest high school improvement effort in the United States, with more than 1,100 school sites in 32 states. High Schools That Work is supported by member states and grants from organizations, such as the Wallace Foundation, Goldman Sachs Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, Whitehead Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
