Tone from the Top
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to congratulate Dr. Royster on his exemplary performance evaluation, which recognizes his visionary leadership in guiding Greenville County Schools to another historic year of achievement,” said GCS Board Chair Dr. Carolyn Styles. “Being one of the first districts in the state to surpass 90% in all three achievement areas – graduation rate, college or career readiness, and state report card ratings – is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to the dedication of teachers and staff, the commitment of students and families, and the strong leadership that continues to move our District forward. We are proud of the progress and accomplishments and look forward to continuing to expand opportunities and support the success of every student.”
As a result of this positive evaluation, the Board unanimously approved a motion to extend Royster’s contract through June 30, 2030.
