Orchard Park Elementary opened its doors for the first time in the Fall of 2001. We are located in one of the fastest growing counties in South Carolina, a few miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina. We are part of the highly ranked Fort Mill School District. We regularly experience the challenges and excitement of an ever-expanding school and school system. Despite this growth, we are very fortunate to be able to maintain an adequate pupil/teacher ratio.
