Spartanburg County

Please join us in congratulating Gettys D. Broome High School’s JROTC Academic Team as they received 6th place after competing in the National Playoffs for the 2022 National JROTC Academic Bowl Championship in Washington, DC! This team is composed of Brayden E. (Team Captain), Emily B., Yuma S., and Bobby N.

So just how big of a deal is this event? Out of 582 Air Force JROTC academic teams that compete around the world, Broome High School's team was one of just SEVENTEEN that scored high enough to compete at the national level! To then compete in the playoffs and receive 6th place is truly an accomplishment.

Following a thorough accreditation review by an international Engagement Review Team from Cognia, Spartanburg School District Three is thrilled to share our EXCELLENT score of 343.87 out of a possible 400 from the Engagement Review Team, far exceeding the average score of 278-283 awarded to most other school systems across the nation.

Spartanburg School District Three is enthralled to announce the addition of a 3-year-old Pre-Kindergarten class at Pacolet Elementary School! This unique early learning opportunity was made possible through a grant from the Mary Black Foundation. This is an exciting opportunity for District Three, allowing us to offer free Pre-K for children in our community where daycares and early childhood centers are scarce.

We have some exciting changes happening at our elementary schools and high school this summer! Each of the schools will have major renovations to provide the best learning environments possible for our students.

Cannons, Cowpens, and Pacolet Elementary, and Broome High School will be closed to the public starting on June 2, 2022.

These projects won't interfere with our students or learning during the regular school year. However, there will be some temporary changes during the summer, which will affect our summer school learning and athletics. Click here to read them!

During the week of April 18-22, an accreditation team will be conducting a deep-dive educational audit of Spartanburg County School District Three, as required by the South Carolina Department of Education.
