Richmond, Columbia counties’ schools team up to build Junior Achievement Discovery Center

The school boards for Richmond and Columbia counties have agreed to pay up to $2.5 million each to build a new learning center to teach life skills to area pupils.

Richmond County Superintendent Kenneth Bradshaw said, “Too often our students may not have a realistic idea of what being an adult is,” said Richmond County Superintendent Kenneth Bradshaw. But with this new center, “they feel the experience of paying bills, owning a business, and that’s our core business in education.”
