A Message from our Superintendent
 
It is my pleasure to welcome you to another exciting year in Greenwood School District 52! It’s hard to believe that this is only my 3rd year serving as your Superintendent, considering everything that happened in my first year. Thank you to everyone for your commitment and support over the past three years.
 
Serving in this district remains one of my greatest honors, both professionally and personally. Each year brings new reasons to celebrate, and this year has been no exception. 
  • Ninety Six Elementary, Edgewood Middle, and Ninety Six High School's continued success on statewide assessments
  • Ninety Six High School Wildcat Marching Band capturing another 1A State Championship
  • Ranking #7 out of all other school districts in the state according to School Digger
  • Two excellent schools (Edgewood Middle & Ninety Six High) and one good school (Ninety Six Elementary) on the SC School Report Cards
  • Induction of the 2025 Ninety Six Hall of Fame class
  • Initial phases of moving the Technology/Career Center to PTC to enhance college and career opportunities for our students

Each of these milestones is a building block in the legacy we are creating together. It reflects the passion, teamwork, and resilience that define our schools and community each and every day. 

During this school year, I'm truly excited about the journey that lies ahead. In the words of Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, we are not aiming to be "good because good is the enemy of great. We are aiming for greatness, for a lasting impact that goes far beyond the classroom walls."

This year, remember this idea: Every employee is a builder of our district's path to greatness. Every lesson taught, meal prepared, bus driven, and floor cleaned is a brick laid on that path. It all matters, and most importantly, everyone matters! While we are extremely proud of our accomplishments last school year, this year offers another opportunity to start a new chapter in our book of excellence. Our tireless efforts have allowed our students to excel in the classroom, on the playing field, and in the community. One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is watching our students in action and meeting all of the challenges and expectations set forth by our teachers. As your Superintendent, I will continue to maintain and grow the culture in our district, providing every student and staff member with a sense of belonging that supports our efforts towards continuous improvement across the board.  

I encourage and welcome any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns you have about our schools and can be reached at [email protected].
 
I look forward to working together again this school year as we continue to make Ninety Six a place of which we can all be proud!
