🌟 ONE TO WATCH | Campobello Gramling School 🌟
It’s time to celebrate our September One Wildcats to Watch at Campobello Gramling School! 🐾
💙 Staff One to Watch: Officer Jordan Mullins
Officer Mullins was nominated by a parent for the way she makes students and families feel welcome each morning. She knows our Wildcats by name, jokes with them, wishes them a great day, and makes sure they start their morning with a smile. Those few moments in car line may seem small, but they make a big difference and help our students know they are seen, cared for, and welcomed at CGS.
🍎 Teacher One to Watch: Mrs. Corey Zipperer
Mrs. Zipperer was nominated by a parent who shared the difference she made for a child who was struggling to feel comfortable and connected at school. She took the time to listen, understand what her student needed, and make sure she felt safe, confident, and cared for. Before long, a student who had been anxious about coming to school was excited to be in Mrs. Zipperer’s classroom.

Here's a week at glance for D1!

At 8:46 am on Friday, September 11, 2026, all Spartanburg One schools observed a moment of silence in remembrance of September 11, 2001.
Throughout the district, students and staff also took part in activities honoring the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the first responders who continue to serve our communities today.
Here are pictures from activities held:
Landrum Middle School hosted a panel discussion reflecting on the events of 9/11 and their lasting impact.
Chapman High School JROTC participated in the City of Inman’s annual 9/11 memorial.
Campobello Gramling School shared a read-aloud of Fireboat, helping students learn about the events of September 11.
Classes at Inman Intermediate School prepared care packages for local emergency departments as a way to thank them for their service.
Spartanburg One remembers. 🇺🇸
#SpartanburgOne #NeverForget #September11








Tomorrow night is going to be a BIG night at Chapman High School! 💙🏈
We are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 State Championship Football Team! Players, coaches, managers, and their families are invited back, and the championship team will be recognized on the field at halftime.
It’s also Youth Night AND WYFF News 4’s Game of the Week! 🎉
📸 And these throwback Thursday photos take us right back to where history was made in the 2016 State Championship game!
Come out, pack the stands, and help us celebrate a special night of Panthers from the past, present, and future!

Our teachers are always learning, growing, and finding new ways to help EVERY student succeed! 💙 This week, Spartanburg One educators are attending the South Carolina Multilingual Learner Program Conference in Columbia, connecting with educators from across the state and bringing back new ideas and strategies to support our multilingual learners. We are proud of these teachers for continuing to learn, grow, and find new ways to support their students. Their commitment to our students is just one more reason Spartanburg One is One to Watch! 💙

We are excited to celebrate four Spartanburg One schools selected to receive an American Heart Association resource grant focused on student health and wellness:
Campobello Gramling School
Inman Intermediate School - IIS
New Prospect Elementary
O. P. Earle
We are grateful for this opportunity and the resources it will provide for our students! ♥️

🌟 ONE TO WATCH | Inman Elementary 🌟
We’re kicking off our first month of One to Watch at Inman Elementary by celebrating three Eagles who make IES a special place!
🦅 Student One to Watch: Bella Bondarchuk
Third grader Bella Bondarchuk is kind, hardworking, and a great example to her classmates. We especially love something Bella recently shared: “I’m okay with making mistakes—that means I get to work to fix them.” What a great way to look at learning and growing!
🍎 Faculty One to Watch: Ms. Bailey Condrey
Ms. Condrey teaches our 3- and 4-year-old PCD students, and for many of them, she is part of their very first school experience. She works each day to help her students learn, communicate, build confidence, and become more independent. The growth happening in her classroom is something to celebrate!
💙 Staff One to Watch: Ms. Tamika Hull
Ms. Hull works hard behind the scenes to make sure IES is ready for students and staff each day. She spent countless hours this summer getting the school ready for a new year and is always willing to jump in and help wherever she is needed. Most of all, she brings a positive attitude to her work and to those around her.

🚌 Mrs. Mathis is ready to roll… unfortunately, this bus won’t get our students very far!
Spartanburg One needs school bus drivers to help keep the REAL wheels going round and round!
Bus drivers are often the first Spartanburg One employee our students see in the morning and the last one they see in the afternoon. A friendly face, a safe ride, and a caring adult behind the wheel can make a real difference in a child’s day!
We’d love to have you on our team!
