COLUMBIA, SC – On Thursday, August 20, and Monday, August 24, 2015, the Richland School District Two Board of Trustees met to conduct Superintendent Dr. Debbie Hamm’s performance evaluation.

As our superintendent, she is everywhere all the time. The culture she has created shows in the joy and motivation seen throughout the district. We can’t thank her enough for her service to our students, parents, employees and community.”
