The Richland Northeast High School Mock Trial Team recently concluded a record-breaking 2025–2026 season, finishing an impressive 4th in the entire state of South Carolina. The team made school history during the Regional Competition by winning all three rounds with near-perfect scores, making them one of only eight teams out of 44 to advance to the State Championship. Individual honors were abundant, with Abigail Geppert, Markell Watson, Sydnee Turner, and Caroline Brandes earning “Most Effective Attorney” awards, while Nathaniel Britt, Prashika Pandit, Tristan Featherstone, and Tayla Hunter were recognized as “Most Effective Witnesses.” This season also marked the successful debut of RNE’s first-ever courtroom support team, featuring a dedicated journalist and two courtroom artists.
This monumental achievement was made possible by the hard work of the students and the unwavering support of Lead Teacher Coach D.E. Thompson, Lead Attorney Joseph Bias, and attorney coaches Tiara Pitts and Lauren Williams. The team’s Regional State Advancement Plaque will soon be displayed in the main office as a testament to their dedication. Looking forward, RNE is already recruiting for the 2026–2027 season and encourages interested students to contact dethompson@richland2.org to join this championship-caliber program. Congratulations to the entire “powerhouse” team on a season that will truly be remembered!

The halls are a little quieter and the stakes feel a little higher—it’s testing season in South Carolina. After months of hard work, students across the state are ready to show what they’ve learned. However, there’s one hurdle that has nothing to do with the curriculum: unauthorized devices.
The “Zero Tolerance” List Includes: Cell phones, Smartwatches, Smart glasses. Whether it’s in your pocket, on your wrist, or on your face, having these devices during a test is a serious violation.
You don’t need a search engine or a text message to prove your worth. Trust your preparation, leave the tech in your locker, and remember: You’re smarter than that.
Good luck to all South Carolina students on their upcoming exams!
