Five Greenville County Schools Earn Red Carpet Status

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Five Greenville County schools have been selected as Red Carpet Schools, an award presented by the State Department of Education that recognizes schools with outstanding family-friendly environments. Winning schools receive red carpets with the state seal to display in their lobbies.

This year’s local recipients of the Red Carpet School designation are Augusta Circle Elementary, Bryson Elementary, J. L. Mann High Academy, Mauldin Elementary, and Summit Drive Elementary. They join 25 Greenville County schools that previously received the award.

“I am very proud of these and other schools’ efforts to ensure students, parents and visitors feel welcome and appreciated in their schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher. “Involving parents and others in the community is an important key to success for all schools.”

These schools go ‘above and beyond’ when it comes to providing excellent customer service. They provide warm, inviting environments where parents and others are welcome and are important members of the school family.

Schools were judged on a variety of factors, including the exterior and interior appearance of the campus, the manner in which persons were treated in person and over the telephone, and the information and programs available for families and visitors. Schools maintain their Red Carpet status for three years.
