💙💛 BUILDING COMMUNITY. BUILDING CHARACTER. BUILDING THE FUTURE. 💛💙
Building a strong sense of community sometimes means looking beyond the walls of our own building and recognizing the bigger vision of who we are becoming. As we mold our Eagles into future Vikings, we know that character, leadership, and sportsmanship are just as important as the game itself.
True sportsmanship means celebrating others, even when they are excelling in the very moments we are not. Tonight, we were incredibly proud of our football team for embracing the Viking vision and traveling to Carver Middle School to cheer on our other D7 middle school as they competed in the playoffs! 🏈💙
To our football players and coaches, THANK YOU for showing what it means to be great gentlemen, supportive teammates, and outstanding representatives of our school community. You reminded us that building a stronger Viking community starts with respect, encouragement, and a willingness to celebrate the success of others.
This is what it means to live the Eagle Way—to SOAR beyond ourselves and lift others along the way! 🦅💙💛
Congratulations to our McCracken Eagles on their victory over DR Hill tonight!
We are proud of the hard work, dedication, and teamwork our players continue to demonstrate. Thank you to our coaches for their leadership and to everyone who supports our Eagles.
A great night to be an Eagle! 🦅

Great schools need great leaders and in District 7, we are fortunate to have principals who show up every day ready to lead, serve and make a difference.
Their mission is a big one.
They set the tone for their schools. They champion great teaching and learning. They celebrate successes, navigate challenges, build relationships with families, and make countless decisions, both seen and unseen, with students at the center.
Most importantly, they bring people together around a shared belief in what is possible for every child.
During National Principals Month, we are proud to celebrate the leaders who have accepted that mission across District 7:
Victoria Bradley, E.P. Todd School
Dr. Marquice Clark, Cleveland Academy of Leadership
Jonathan Duvall, Jesse Boyd Elementary
Carla Cato, Drayton Mills Elementary
Tammy Jordan, Mary H. Wright Elementary
Dennis Regnier, Pine Street Elementary
Randy Edwards, Carver Middle School
Dr. Telena Woody, McCracken Middle School
Dr. Andrew McMillan, Spartanburg High School
Erin Black, Spartanburg County Adult Education
Cameron Collier, Whitlock Flexible Learning Center
Rene Ford, McCarthy Teszler School
Shawna Bynum, The Franklin School
Their schools may look different and the needs they meet each day may vary, but their mission is shared: creating places where students can learn, grow, belong and become their very best.
To our D7 principals, thank you for answering the call, embracing the challenge and leading with purpose.
Mission Accepted. Every school. Every student. Every day.
Help us celebrate these incredible leaders by leaving a word of thanks or encouragement below!

Happy National Custodians Day!

🎉 Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🌎🎨
Our atrium display case has some exciting new additions! Our talented 7th and 8th grade students researched countries celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month and used 3D materials of their choice to create sculptures representing the unique cultures and traditions of their selected countries.
We love seeing our Eagles celebrate diversity, explore new cultures, and showcase their creativity!
We went 5 sets, but we got the win against Rainbow Lake last night! Way to soar Eagles!🦅
MISSION ACCEPTED: Learning for our learners!
A reminder that District 7 schools will be closed to students this Friday, October 2, while our faculty and staff come together for a districtwide Professional Development Day.
Part of accepting the mission means continuing to learn and grow ourselves, strengthening our practice so we can give our students our very best.
And while school is out, our friends at City of Spartanburg Parks & Rec have some great opportunities for students! They are offering Out of School Day programs for ages 5 to 12 and teens ages 13 to 17 this Friday and on other scheduled days when students are out of school throughout the year.
Check out the flyers for details, times and locations!
No school for students Friday, but plenty of learning and fun happening across Spartanburg!
