College Summit South Carolina was officially launched in April 2006, though the groundwork for the office began in 2004. Jaime Harrison, former COO of College Summit and Special Advisor to Congressman James Clyburn, helped secure an agreement with College Summit to serve students in South Carolina and worked with the Congressman to secure federal funding for it.

Throughout South Carolina, school districts face challenges in retaining students through graduation. To reduce the rate of dropouts, one of the solutions South Carolina has identified is to clearly demonstrate a path beyond high school.  By fostering a culture in which students see they can shape their futures, College Summit South Carolina will contribute to a reduction in the drop out rate.

During the 2010-2011 school year, College Summit will serve more than 1,100 students in 11 high schools in seven school districts located in six counties as follows:

-Richland County School District One → Eau Claire High School, C.A. Johnson High School, Lower Richland High School and Keenan High School 

-Spartanburg School District Seven → Spartanburg High School
