Spartanburg School District 7

The halls may be quiet, but Viking Nation is anything but! 🔥

This week, our youngest Vikings — and the incredible coaches who inspire them — laced up, geared up, cheered loud, and showed up for an action-packed week of summer camps at Spartanburg High School.

From big swings and fast feet to fearless serves, takedowns, tumbles, and plenty of teamwork, our young athletes brought the energy all week long. We wrapped up Lady Vikings Sports Camp, Viking Cheer Camp, Boys and Girls Soccer Camp and Wrestling Camp, and Football Camp — and let's just say, summer got off to a championship-caliber start!

And the action didn't stop there. Across campus, our football and basketball teams have already been hard at work preparing for another exciting year of Viking athletics.

Please enjoy these photos from a fantastic week of camps, smiles, new friendships, skill-building, and plenty of Viking Pride. The school year may be on break, but the Viking spirit never takes a summer vacation! 🏆

💙💛 Viking Pride Forever! 💛💙

A huge thank you to our incredible substitute teachers and substitute nurses!

Recently, District 7 administrators, our Human Resources team, and Kelley Education hosted a special appreciation luncheon at Spartanburg High School to celebrate the dedicated individuals who step in each day to support our students and schools.

Whether filling a classroom, assisting a student, or providing care when it is needed most, our substitutes make a meaningful difference. Their flexibility, commitment, and willingness to serve help ensure learning continues uninterrupted and students feel supported every day.

District 7 is fortunate to have more than 200 talented substitutes on our team, but we are always looking for caring, dependable individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of children. Substitute teachers earn $125 per day, substitute teacher assistants earn $90 per day, and you have the flexibility to choose the days that work best for your schedule.

Interested in joining Team 7? Learn more and apply at www.spartanburg7.org/substituteteaching. And for all District 7 employment opportunities, visit www.spartanburg7.org/joinourteam.

We love our substitutes, and we would love to welcome you to our team!

Follow along through these photos as Board Member Sally Carroll and Superintendent Jeff Stevens celebrated their remarkable achievements.

Congratulations to all of our honorees for distinguishing themselves among thousands of students nationwide and demonstrating what it means to be a District 7 scholar.

A special thank you to our outstanding ODYSSEY educators—Brooksie Berry, Cynthia Edge, Susan Holcombe, Jennifer Marvin, Valarie Cleveland Tyson, and Dionne Williams, whose dedication, encouragement, and expertise help our students reach incredible heights.
