About Us
Parents
As the proud principal of one of Spartanburg School District Five’s newest schools, I am pleased to welcome you to Berry Shoals Elementary. After serving as an intermediate school since 2001, Berry Shoals is excited to team up with our parents and community partners as we begin our next chapter as an elementary school. Berry Shoals will continue to provide academic excellence in an environment that is kind and caring, challenging and exciting, and where our children are provided with many opportunities for success.
Our motto, "Swarming to BEE Great!" embodies our commitment to excellence and dedication to helping every child reach their full potential. This year's theme is "Fly and Mighty," encouraging our students to soar to new heights and achieve their goals. Our school mascot, Buzzy Buzzington III, represents our school spirit and determination. Alongside our talented and dedicated teachers and staff, we strive to provide a high-quality education that prepares our children for success.
We welcome you all to be a busy part of the Hive as we prepare for a great year of making memories, creating friends, working hard, and having fun! As the principal, my door is always open. Our hard-working team of administrators, teachers, and staff are committed to supporting our school community as we work together to make this a fantastic school year!
See you soon!
