#Day1inD1

A great deal of teamwork and collaboration took place throughout the first day back to school to ensure the safe arrival and dismissal of all District One students. It was great to have the hallways buzzing with smiling faces and warm welcomes! Many thanks to our parents, faculty, staff, and community members who made our #Day1inD1 as smooth as possible.

Fox Carolina News helped to kick off the start of the new school year at Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary. HSM principal, Mrs. Erika Center, welcomed students with a special video message the night before which was featured on the morning broadcast.

2017-2018 Teachers of the Year

The idea of Teacher of the Year is to celebrate excellence and to honor and recognize exceptional teachers on a school, district, and state level. Teachers of the Year serve for one school year as an ambassador providing mentoring, attending speaking engagements, working with teachers to lead forums as they serve as a voice for over 500 of our educators in Spartanburg School District One. The process for selecting nominees for Teacher of the Year begins at the school level among colleagues who recognize excellence in teaching and those who can be a visible representative of public education, in a time where public education can sometimes be unappreciated. The Teacher of the Year reminds us of the dedicated people who have devoted their lives to teaching. Congratulations to the following teachers who have been selected as the 2017-2018 Teachers of the Year: Campobello Gramling School,   Jessica Morris Holly Springs Motlow Elementary School, Julia Sullivan Inman Elementary School, Christina Terry Inman Intermediate School, Ashley Ballard New Prospect Elementary, Jill Tyner OP Earle Elementary School , Katy Hardee Landrum Middle School , Jessica Pym Mabry Middle School, Christin Edge Chapman High School, Susan Hall Landrum High School,  Josh Fowler HB Swofford Career Center, Matt Sanders
