2026 All Staff Back-to-School Convocation

On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Richland One hosted a remarkable All Staff Back-to-School Convocation at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds. This event served as the official launch of R1 Vision 2030 and Beyond, setting the stage for exciting cultural shifts across the district.

With the theme “One Moment. One Mission. One Movement,” the convocation brought together staff and leaders from all corners of Richland One, uniting them under shared priorities and expectations for the upcoming school year.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this memorable day. Together, we are embarking on a path of innovation and excellence, ready to make a lasting impact on our students and community.

Here's to a successful year ahead, as we rise together with #R1Vision2030!
