"Every Child deserves a champion"
Rita Pierson

A champion: Someone who fights for you; someone who unwaveringly supports your cause.  Charter Champions are those who believe in the power of school choice, who are committed to ensuring that every child has a quality option for free, public education and who are persistent in their efforts to improve the outcomes for our children.   In particular, they are advocates for Greenville Technical Charter High School, the first charter high school in the state of South Carolina.  GTCHS is grateful for our champions.  The role they play in promoting strong legislation, providing financial contributions, and leading innovative practices is vital for the students we serve. ​
