Shayne Daugherty is no stranger to Spartanburg District Five, having first joined the district in 2017, when he was named Assistant Principal of Abner Creek Academy. In 2020, he was promoted to Principal at the school, where he served proudly until July 2023, when he officially assumed the role as Principal of Tyger River Elementary.
Daugherty began his career in education as a middle school science teacher, then went on to teach at Chapman High School in neighboring Spartanburg District One. He has held every role from teacher, to coach, Assistant Principal and Principal at the elementary, middle and high school level. Daugherty graduated with his Bachelors in Biology from Wofford College and his Masters in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina.
Speaking of this new role, Daugherty says, “I’m just so grateful for this opportunity and am really excited to be a part of establishing a brand new school. It’s not every day you get the chance to build a school from the ground up, and I’m just looking forward to forming a family at Tyger River and making it one of the best schools in Spartanburg District Five.”
When he's not at school, Daugherty enjoys spending time outdoors and traveling in his motor home with his wife, Karen, and daughter, Cora.
