Reaching Higher at Greenville County Schools! At Skyland, we are celebrating GCS as one of the first school districts in South Carolina to earn the 90-90-90 milestone by surpassing 90% in all three major achievement areas: reaching a 92.2% Graduation Rate for the Class of 2026, 90.5% of the graduating class earning College/Career Ready status, and 98.9% of Greenville County schools rated Excellent, Good, or Average on the State Report Card. This is a powerful reflection of the GCS Advantage in action, where there are Stronger Communities, Greater Opportunities! To learn more about the celebration, visit our website.

💙❤️ There Truly Is No Place Like Skyland! ❤️💙

We are excited to celebrate Skyland Elementary’s GOOD rating on the 2026 South Carolina School Report Card! 🎉🐾

We were extremely close to earning an excellent rating! While we are celebrating how far we have come, we are also motivated by how close we are to reaching that next level!

This accomplishment reflects the hard work and dedication of our incredible teachers and staff, the determination of our students, and the continued partnership of our families and Ridge Nation community. Together, we are creating a place where children flourish!

☀️🍫 Learning is SWEET in 4th grade! 🍫☀️

Our 4th graders explored alternative energy and put their learning into action by making solar ovens out of pizza boxes to create delicious s’mores! They discovered how the sun’s energy can be used to heat things up while enjoying a sweet science experiment. 😋🔬

A HUGE thank-you to Pizza Inn of Greer for donating the pizza boxes and helping make this hands-on learning experience possible! 🍕❤️

🚨 A MESSAGE FROM THE DESK OF OUR FIRE MARSHAL 🚨

After closely monitoring the weather forecast and considering the safety of everyone involved, we regret to announce that Fire Day 2026 has been canceled.

As we stated in yesterday’s post, the safety of our attendees, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and staff is always our top priority. This was not an easy decision, and we are truly disappointed that we will not be able to come together with our community this Saturday as planned. However, we will never compromise the safety of those who make this event so special.

We would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and staff members who have worked tirelessly to help make Fire Day 2026 a reality. Your time, hard work, dedication, and support mean more to us than you know. We could not do this without you!

While we are saddened by this decision, we are already looking ahead to Fire Day 2027! We are committed to coming back bigger and better, and we look forward to another opportunity to bring our community together for a great day of family fun, fire service demonstrations, and community fellowship.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment this cancellation may cause. We appreciate your understanding and continued support of the Lake Cunningham Fire Department.

Please stay safe this weekend, look out for one another, and thank you for being part of our Lake Cunningham Fire Department family! ❤️🚒
