CLASS ACTS Celebrating the Class of 2021 GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Dear Seniors,
We knew the Class of 2020 faced a tough year, but we recognize the Class of 2021 overcame both the shutdown of 2020 and the protocols and restrictions of this school year. These actions impacted your ability to participate in some traditional senior experiences and fully celebrate the end of your K-12 education. Your perseverance through the pandemic and the phasedin return to brick-and-mortar, and your determination in the Virtual Program has been remarkable. You’ve faced the challenges of a socially-distanced senior year with grace and distinction. Color Group schedules, eLearning days, and the GCS Roadmap have characterized the last nine months, and as a group, you followed the many health protocols we established to keep students and staff safe. Whether you chose in-person attendance or the Virtual Program, you quickly adapted to new ways of teaching and learning. I am proud of each of you for rising to the challenge and demonstrating your resilience, perseverance, and adaptability in this year’s ever-changing circumstances in school and in the community. This may be the most challenging experience your generation will face. I commend you for responding to the changes, moving forward with your education, and making the best of these most unusual times. I wish you well as you move into the next phase of your education career. Sincerely,
W. Burke Royster, Ph.D. Superintendent, Greenville County Schools
