Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year

   It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to return to Greenville City Schools as Superintendent of Schools.  I am excited to return to the district and serve the outstanding student body of Greenville City Schools and work side by side with our dedicated faculty and staff.  My belief is our school system is a great place for students to learn and teachers to teach.

   I am also looking extremely forward to serving the community of Greenville.  I pledge to you on behalf of our entire faculty and staff to provide the best education possible for the students in our district.  Our district wants to prepare our students to be effective citizens in a global economy.  We will continue to strive to instruct the new national and state content standards through twenty-first century teaching methods to the best of our ability while always providing the safest learning environment we can for every student.  The district sincerely appreciates the community's ongoing support as we work together to prepare our students to be effective citizens.

   I invite everyone in the community to attend and support our students in the various extracurricular activities that take place throughout the school year.  Your attendance is appreciated by the students and the school system.

   Feel free to contact me or other building administrators with questions about our school system.  We are all here to serve the students and community.

Mr. Douglas W. Fries
Superintendent
