About
Technical College of the Lowcountry, located in Beaufort South Carolina, traces its origin to the Mather School which was founded in 1968 to provide education for newly freed slaves. By 1967 the school was transferred over to the state as part of a campaign to establish a statewide technical college system. Over the next two decades as part of the South Carolina Technical College System  the school went through multiple name revisions, eventually being given its current in 1988 to better reflect its service area and program offerings.
