CLASS ACTS Celebrating the Class of 2020 GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS

FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Dear Seniors, Coronavirus interrupted and completely changed your lives. Your senior year is ending in a way you never would have imagined. While social distancing kept you from dancing at the senior prom, signing your best friend’s yearbook, or feeling the emotional closure of a goodbye hug, you will remember 2020 as a year like no other. You will remember high school as the best four years of your life. You will remember the laughter, friendships, and experiences that shaped you. You will remember your favorite teacher, principal, or coach who instilled a strong work ethic and taught you valuable life lessons. You’ll remember that you inspired classmates to be their best. You’ll remember that you reached for your dreams - and achieved them. You’ll remember that you and your fellow seniors showed an incredible amount of courage, strength, adaptability, and resilience. You’ll remember the lessons you learned from social distancing. And you will remember that it takes 20 seconds of handwashing to help prevent the spread of a virus. Mr. Rogers, the children’s TV icon who made the world a better place through kindness and encouragement, said, “Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.” You are standing at the beginning of something else. As you close the chapter on your high school years, take the knowledge, skills, and life lessons you learned and use them well as you begin the next chapter of your life. Sincerely,

W. Burke Royster, Ph.D. Superintendent, Greenville County Schools
