Update on Onsite Field Trips

RMSC is closed for onsite field trips until further notice, but is offering eLearning Live options.

Join us for a virtual visit to Roper Mountain in this series of live, standards-based demonstrations specifically designed to support student learning in a virtual environment.

Environmental Science & Sustainability Building

The tremendous growth in Greenville and the Upstate over the past few decades has helped to drive the expansion of our programs, filled our existing facility, and fully maximized our services. To meet this need, Greenville County Schools has made a $12.2 million investment in a new Environmental Science and Sustainability Center on our campus. The 30,000 square foot facility will provide unique and immersive educational experiences that foster stewardship of natural resources and engage students and visitors in hands-on learning about the Greenville watershed, the water cycle, and personal and global sustainability.
