🎒💡 While our students are away… our teachers DON’T PLAY!

Last Friday may have been a day off for our students, but classrooms across D7 were still buzzing with energy and ideas! Our teachers spent the day diving into professional learning — sharpening their skills and exploring new strategies to make learning even more engaging and effective.

From creative new ideas for hands-on science activities 🧪, to learning how to teach stronger writing skills ✏️ , to using AI effectively in education 🤖 — our educators were all in! They also deepened their understanding of our instructional framework, explored helpful apps that support teaching, and strengthened their understanding of how to implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to help students struggling with academics or behavior. D7 also welcomed physical education teachers from other districts to learn new research-based curriculum to foster students' wellbeing and physical health.

Every session connected back to our mission "to inspire and equip students for lives of leadership and service". 💙💛 Because when teachers grow, students shine! ✨

✨ Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! ✨

Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes who keep our schools and offices clean, safe, and welcoming every single day — our incredible D7 custodians! Across the district, we are blessed with 65 custodians, field custodians, and building supervisors who take immense pride in their work. Their schools are their homes, and their colleagues and students are like family. They carry a huge responsibility — not only maintaining beautiful spaces, but ensuring healthy, safe environments for learning and working.

The word custodian comes from the Latin custos, meaning “guardian.” Every D7 custodian truly embodies that spirit — looking after our students, staff, and schools with pride and love. 💙 We’d be a mess without them — literally and figuratively!

At the District Office, we are especially grateful for Addie Wray and Taliaferro “Mr. T” Woodfork. They are the glue that holds our building together — cleaning up messes, solving maintenance challenges, and tackling endless tasks with care and dedication.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking all of our remarkable custodians today — and every day. It’s no secret that when they shine, #7Shines. 🌟

District 7 is proud to shine a spotlight on the exceptional talent of our students and the dedication of our educators. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has announced its 2026 Semifinalists and Commended Students in the 71st annual recognition program, and three outstanding Spartanburg High School seniors have earned these prestigious honors.

This year, we proudly celebrate National Merit Semifinalists Sebastian Cartwright and Myles Klosterman. Their achievement places them among the top 1% of the 1.3 million high school seniors who entered the competition nationwide. Spartanburg High School distinguished itself by having more semifinalists than any other public high school in Spartanburg County — a reflection of the excellence that defines District 7.

We also proudly recognize National Merit Commended Student Josiah Rogers. This honor places him in the top 3% of students nationwide and reflects both his hard work and the strong academic foundation built in District 7 schools.

Spartanburg High School Principal Dr. Andrew McMillan shared, “These honors highlight the strength of a District 7 education. From elementary through high school, our teachers and staff nurture curiosity, challenge students, and open doors to opportunity. We celebrate these students not just for what they’ve achieved, but for the future leaders they are becoming.”

7SHINE through these remarkable accomplishments, thanks to the brilliance of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of our community. Together, we are inspiring and empowering the leaders of tomorrow.
