A Message from Superintendent Stevens
Welcome to District 7! If you’re new to Spartanburg and looking for information about our schools, we hope this will be your go-to resource. Our District and school websites reflect the dynamic spirit of D7 and the many initiatives that support our efforts to inspire and equip our students for meaningful lives of leadership and service.
I am honored to serve in the role of Superintendent. My highest priority is to work together with our students, parents, staff and community to uphold and strengthen the spirit of tradition, excellence, and innovation that has long been a hallmark of this district and enables us to provide students with the best possible education.
A proud product of District 7, I graduated from Spartanburg High School in 1985 then went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees from Western Carolina University, Furman University and Converse College. I worked in lockstep with former Superintendent Russell Booker during my role as Chief Operations Officer for District 7 and, prior to that, as principal of Spartanburg High School. Our shared vision for our district and for Spartanburg plays a major role in my leadership as superintendent.
There is a place for every individual, every ability, every dream, every background, and every perspective in District 7. We want your family to feel welcomed and supported, and we want your child to discover and develop their unique interests and abilities. Through our many programs and opportunities, every D7 student will find a place to shine.
As we look to the future, Spartanburg School District 7 strives to lead with excellence among districts in the Southeast and affirms our commitment to giving students a competitive edge through exceptional instruction and world-class learning facilities. At the beginning of this school year, I issued a challenge to every D7 employee to bring joy to their work this year – to bring joy to the lives of our students and our colleagues. Following the last few challenging years, let’s all focus on creating JOY for one another in our D7 family. I hope you will feel that JOY as it lifts and carries you through your best school year yet.
Thank you, parents, for entrusting District 7 with your children! We are so proud to play a role in shaping their lives.
Please follow our district and schools on social media for a window into the vibrant daily life across D7!
