SPARTANBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT THREE CLOSED ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2026
Dear District Three families,
After careful consideration, Spartanburg School District Three will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. This will be an eLearning Day. All afterschool and athletic events are also canceled.
The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for this evening until Tuesday at noon. Overnight temperatures are expected to dip into the teens for parts of the upstate, including D3. These unusually low temperatures combined with existing ice are expected to create hazardous road conditions, making travel unsafe.
We are continuing to monitor weather and road conditions closely and will share additional updates as needed.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
*SPARTANBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT THREE CLOSED ON MONDAY*
Dear District Three Families,
Based on the strong potential for inclement weather and hazardous travel conditions, Spartanburg School District Three will hold an eLearning Day on Monday, January 26, 2026.
This decision was made with the safety of our students and staff at the forefront. The National Weather Service has issued an Ice Storm Warning beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday for the area of the upstate that includes D3.
Teachers helped prepare students today for assignments that will cover Monday as an eLearning Day and additional days if needed. The assignments accommodate options for those who experience power outages or have no internet access. Weather conditions are expected to worsen over the weekend, with below-freezing temperatures extending into next week.
We will continue to monitor conditions and share any additional updates as needed. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Students in Mrs. Hefner and Mrs. Easler’s 3K class at Pacolet Elementary School celebrated the 100th day of the school year by counting to ten, ten times!

What began as an afternoon history lesson on Charleston’s role in the American Revolution turned into exciting news: a free field trip to Charleston this spring, where students will experience that history firsthand!
It's all because Mrs. Tonya McCullough won the Teaching America250 Award for South Carolina!
This honor, through the Jack Miller Center in Philadelphia, awards 51 teachers nationwide (one from each state and Washington, D.C.) with a $5,000 grant in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
That money is used to fund a project of each teacher's design that engages students with the history of America’s founding and the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. Mrs. McCullough chose a trip to Charleston to visit Fort Moultrie along with several other historical sites.
Students will also have the opportunity to attend a separate field trip to Cowpens Battlefield as part of the award.
Congratulations, Mrs. McCullough!
The Broome High School Athletic Department will honor the 1990 Girls’ State Championship Basketball Team on Friday, January 30th, when our Centurions host the Woodruff Wolverines.
We look forward to celebrating the 1990 State Championship Team at halftime of the varsity boys’ game, which begins at 7:30 pm! 🏆
We thank these dedicated trustees for their willingness to continue sharing their time and experience in support of our students and staff.
All five of our trustees up for re-election ran unopposed! This speaks volumes about their vision for our district and the trust our communities have in their leadership.
They are:
Mr. Sam Dawson
Ms. Sarah Dunn
Mr. Chris Jolley, Chairman
Mr. Deion Logan, Vice Chairman
Ms. Ami Odom
Please join us in congratulating these outstanding trustees and wishing them success as they begin new terms on the Spartanburg School District Three Board of Trustees! #BetheChange!

Thanks to the generosity of many churches, organizations, and individuals in and around our community, we were able to help provide gifts this Christmas for 650 students!
We are so grateful for their support, along with Mrs. Ruth Schoonover and her dedicated team, for their tireless work in distributing hundreds of gifts to our families through the District Three Christmas Assistance program. Their commitment and compassion make a meaningful difference, and they do a phenomenal job. #BetheChange!
This project is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. The guitars will continue to be used throughout the year in Mr. Alley’s Guitar Club.
Congratulations, Mr. Alley, on this wonderful achievement!
We are incredibly grateful for our strong partnership with Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, which continues to provide meaningful, career-ready opportunities for our students. Congratulations to these outstanding students! We are excited to see all that you accomplish!
Congratulations to Broome High School senior Asher Littlejohn, who participated in the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives North South Bowl. The game features the state's top high school seniors, divided into North and South teams.
In addition to the game, Asher also had the opportunity to mentor a younger child on a Christmas shopping spree. Great job, Asher! #ConquerAndPrevail
This recognition comes from the South Carolina Sports Field Managers Association and is due to the hard work and dedication of Robert Quinn, Grounds Manager; Matt Harris; David Holland; Troy Lee; Jacob McCraw; and Eddie Wyatt, Director of Facilities and Grounds.
The Spartanburg School District Three Grounds team accepted this honor last week at an association meeting.
Mr. Quinn and his team also won South Carolina Softball Field of the Year in 2020 and South Carolina Football Field of the Year in 2023. They work hard to ensure our athletes play on the highest quality fields.
Congratulations!
Way to go, Centurions!
Great job, Centurions!
Well done, Panthers!
Clifdale Middle students in Miss McDowell's classes participated in "TED Talks" this week. They each prepared presentations on a short story.
In addition to promoting critical thinking, the lesson provided an opportunity for students to work as a team and practice public speaking. Great job, Centurions!
The program told the story of Santa’s wildly popular new website becoming overwhelmed with emails - putting Christmas deliveries at risk - until one student’s selfless gift request helped restore Santa's gift log.
Students and staff did an outstanding job!
Dr. Honeycutt received this award at the annual conference in recognition of her visionary leadership, commitment to student success, and unwavering advocacy for high-quality healthcare education. She and her team at Daniel Morgan Technology Center are doing an outstanding job, and organizations across the state are taking notice! We are proud of you, Dr. Honeycutt!
