New Richland School District 1 Superintendent Percy Mack mingles with the public during a reception Aug. 7 at Dreher High School in Columbia. The Richland 1 board held the reception to introduce Mack to the community. Mack succeeds Allen Coles and has his hands full with the district, which could face state sanctions because of some chronically low-performing schools. Photo by Jonathan Sharpe
