Spartanburg District Five Schools is thrilled to announce Tyger River Elementary School and Byrnes Freshman Academy as the first-ever recipients of the "Shining Star" award! This new district honor celebrates the hard work and dedication of our custodial teams who go above and beyond to keep our schools clean, safe, and inviting. Superintendent Dr. Randall Gary, along with other District administrators, surprised the two schools with the news on Friday.
Each quarter, one elementary school and one at the secondary level will be selected as a "Shining Star" for its outstanding commitment to providing a welcoming environment for students, staff, and families. This recognition highlights the essential role our custodians play in maintaining a space where students feel comfortable, valued, and ready to learn.
Congratulations to the custodial teams at Tyger River Elementary and Byrnes Freshman Academy for setting a shining example!
