The collaboration between the City of Rock Hill and Rock Hill School District  for the iROC initiative builds an unprecedented partnership between a municipality and school system to utilize students' natural talents, gain new perspective and increase resource efficiency. Based on the philosophy of expeditionary learning, the scope of this project reaches past the boundaries of a single City department, school classroom or specific work assignment, and touches the entire Rock Hill community. It leaves a legacy of responsible, engaged citizens that have left an indelible mark on the most significant areas of the City, including infrastructure, transportation, healthy living, historic preservation, recreation, and improving quality of life for all.
