As Spartanburg District Five Schools closes another outstanding school year, we're also celebrating some special members of our District Five family.
This year, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of our 2024–2025 retirees— a group of 22 dedicated individuals who have together given an astounding 357 combined years of services to our students, schools and community.
The district held a special recognition ceremony on Wednesday, May 21, to honor this year’s retirees and their lasting contributions. Surrounded by family, colleagues, and friends, each retiree was recognized for their years of service and the difference they’ve made within the Spartanburg District Five family. Superintendent Dr. Randall Gary thanked the retirees for their dedication, and commitment to our students and schools.
