Dorchester School District Two opens eSports Competiton Lab at high school
DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) – Dorchester School District Two celebrated the opening of the eSports Competition Lab at Summerville High School on Saturday.
The district’s Career and Technology Education department launched the first eSports academic program in the Lowcountry, with Summerville being the first high school in the district to open a lab, district’s spokesman Matthew Kenwright says.
By learning around gaming, competing, announcing, recording and producing, the labs will develop the students’ digital knowledge, Kenwright says.
“We have all sorts of students. We find a safe space where they interact with each other and learn how to grow and play together — all the soft skills that employers are always talking about wanting — that’s what we provide,” Coach David Griggs says.
