Welcome to the 2012 - 2013 school year. This opportunity to serve you and your PTSA team, students and families, and local school community is greatly appreciated. Our collaborative work continues to provide a foundation of support so that all our High School students are ready for their transition to graduation, to college and/or career.

Connecting parents and schools ensures effective engagement and academic achievement for all children.
Thank you for the work you continue to do. This is a great time to be a member, a leader, and an advocate for education on behalf of all children and youth in Greer. Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Together, we can make every child's potential a reality.
