WE DID IT, SPARTANBURG! NEW Jesse Boyd Elementary School and NEW Mary H. Wright Elementary early-childhood wing anticipated Fall 2027! The unofficial result of the referendum vote is 73% YES – Thank you, Spartanburg! “Today, residents of District 7 chose to create a brighter future for students, teachers, staff, and families. They chose to invest in a thriving community by ensuring District 7’s long-standing commitment to providing excellence in education continues. And for that, we are deeply grateful,” said Superintendent Jeff Stevens. “It has been incredibly rewarding to meet with District 7 residents about these projects through our community info meetings over the summer. Our conversations reflected the shared commitment to the future of our children and schools that has long been a hallmark of this community. Investing in these developments will not only enhance our educational facilities and our students’ learning experience, it will also help fill a critical need for lower-cost childcare to ensure education remains a viable and rewarding career for teachers and staff. This is about securing a brighter future for our students and creating an environment where our educators can thrive both professionally and personally. Spartanburg answered the call to make it all possible – thank you and let’s GO!”

Congratulations to 33 8th graders from Carver and McCracken Middle Schools who were named South Carolina Junior Scholars based on their PSAT scores. These students represent the highest achievers in the state and are among 231 Spartanburg County students who qualified out of nearly 3,900 8th graders across our seven school districts! The SC Department of Education set the qualifying score of 550 on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing portion of the test or score a 530 on the Mathematics portion. Our SC Junior Scholars have taken their first step towards competing in the National Merit Scholarship competition, which is based on their 11th grade PSAT score. Students can be recognized as a National Merit commended student, semifinalist, finalist, or a scholarship recipient. Commended students represent the top 3% of Seniors in the United States, while becoming a semifinalist represents the top 1% of all Seniors. District 7 has a rich tradition of producing national merit award winners and we look forward to these 8th graders continuing this legacy of academic excellence. During the ceremony, Superintendent Jeff Stevens commented, "It is truly a family commitment to earn such an academic distinction, and we are thankful for the partnership of our parents along with our teachers and staff as we propel our students to the highest levels of achievement." In addition to recognizing each D7 qualifier, we celebrated two students who earned the highest scores in the district - Pierce Dickerson for math and Joseph Brown for reading/writing and overall highest score. Please help us congratulate all of our Junior Scholars on their tremendous accomplishment: Anna House, Ahmed Janah, Ayden Blalock, Averi Jefferson, Bennett Salley, Cannon Mitchell, Charlotte Franke, Caison Jaynes, Dianalisa Baller, Dixon Barre, Dishaanth Shanmugam, Everett Stone, Evangeline Crosland, Graysen Voeller, Ian Miller, Jane Colbath, Jillian Seay, Joseph Brown, Kaese Boucher, Liza Baisygnavong, Ma'Shya Ferguson, Mackie Clayton, Meredith Barnhill, Micah Woodall, Nala Vongsay, Noah Kastner, Pierce Dickerson, Rayonna Hibbard, Rob Metts, Samuel Strickland, Summer Cash, Wallace Lynch, Zoe O'Brien
