Testimonials

Why I Teach... Terri Johnson, Cherryvale Elementary School

I love teaching in Sumter School District because I am able to give back to the school district that inspired me to become an educator throughout my K-12 years. I enjoy the flexibility and creativity of being able to encourage and teach students in meaningful ways. 

Why I Teach... Rachel Pressley, Shaw Heights Elementary School

One of the many reasons I love teaching in Sumter School District is their partnership with Shaw Air Force Base. It is an amazing opportunity for students to interact with military volunteers and allows them to have exposure to potential job opportunities with the US Air Force and USARCENT.

Thomas Slater, Chestnut Oaks Middle School

I love teaching in Sumter School District because I have encountered many talented students with an unquenchable thirst for learning. The support I have received has been awesome, allowing me to express my creativity in providing my students with great learning opportunities.
