School Overview
MacDougall High School, located at 1516 Old Gilliard Road in Ridgeville, South Carolina, is a specialized educational facility within the Berkeley County School District. Unlike a traditional neighborhood high school, MacDougall operates primarily as an alternative program, often referred to as the MacDougall Correctional Institution educational program. It is unique in its setting, as it serves students who are incarcerated, providing them with the opportunity to pursue their high school diploma or GED while fulfilling their state-mandated educational requirements.

The school is dedicated to fostering academic growth and rehabilitation for at-risk youth and young adults within the correctional system. By offering a structured learning environment, the faculty focuses on core curriculum subjects, vocational skills, and personal development. The goal of the institution is to ensure that students, regardless of their circumstances, are equipped with the foundational knowledge and certifications necessary to improve their long-term prospects for reintegration into society and the workforce.
