Two Griffins are headed to Augusta!

Congratulations to Spartanburg Day School golfers Davis Petty and Kingston Linder on earning spots on Team South Carolina following outstanding performances at the 68th annual South Carolina Golf Association Junior Championship, held June 16-18 at the Country Club of Spartanburg.

Competing on the club's par-71 course for the tournament, Petty finished tied for second place at 6-under par, posting rounds of 71, 68, and 68. Linder tied for seventh place at 2-over with rounds of 71, 72, and 72.

Their top-eight finishes secured invitations to represent South Carolina in the 51st annual Georgia-South Carolina Junior Team Matches on Aug. 1-2 at the Augusta Country Club.

The SCGA Junior Championship is one of South Carolina's premier junior golf events and has served as a proving ground for many of the state's top golfers. The 54-hole stroke play championship has featured future PGA Tour players and continues to showcase the best junior talent in South Carolina.

We are proud of Davis and Kingston for representing Spartanburg Day School at such a high level and look forward to cheering them on as they compete for Team South Carolina this August!

Four Spartanburg Day School students spent the week gaining firsthand experience in government and leadership through this year’s Boys State and Girls State programs.

Sponsored by local American Legion posts, Boys State and Girls State are immersive, week-long programs that give rising seniors the opportunity to participate in a hands-on simulation of local and state government operations.

Representing SDS were Mitchell Gray, who attended at Anderson University, and Jane Manello, Beau Peeler, and Campbell Dobson, who attended at Presbyterian College.

We are proud of these Griffins for representing themselves, their school, and their community so well throughout the week.

On Flag Day, we celebrate a symbol that has been woven into the story of our nation for generations.

At Spartanburg Day School, we are grateful for the opportunities our students have each day to learn, grow, and pursue their goals. Today is a chance to reflect on the values of respect, gratitude, and community that help strengthen both our school and the world around us.

Happy Flag Day from Spartanburg Day School.
