First Monday was pleased to host Dr. Carolyn Styles, Chairman of the Greenville County School Board.
Dr. Styles discussed the responsibilities of the School Board from her perspective as a 30-year teacher and as principal of a National Blue Ribbon Showcase School (Skyland Elementary School) that received the United States Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award. She spoke about the GCSB Vision – “Students inspired, supported, and prepared for their next opportunities in life, education, and employment” and their Mission – “We build college and career ready graduates by connecting students to engaging classes and meaningful experiences that cultivate world-class knowledge and skills, while developing character, leadership, and citizenship.”
