Two GCS Students Win National Recognition
Two students from Greenville County Schools have been selected national winners in the 47th Annual Poetry and Poster Contest sponsored by the National Career Development Association.
- National First Place - Tatum Gee, Sterling School, Intermediate Poetry
- National Second Place - Olivia Bayne, Tigerville Elementary School, Primary Poster
Focusing on this year's theme, "Inspiring Careers: Honoring History," state-winning entries from across the country were judged based on grade-level categories ranging from primary to post-secondary and out-of-school adults.
The NCDA Poster and Poetry Contest highlight the importance of life-long career development and the personal empowerment of all people through the arts.
This year's competition attracted more than 10,000 entries state-wide, which demonstrates the extremely high level of career awareness activity in South Carolina. Over the past five years, South Carolina has produced more than seventy national winners.
