Greenville Tech Charter HS students win national award

GTCHS Students In Action, recognized as the Most Outstanding South Carolina Team, have been chosen the National Jefferson Award Winner. The Jefferson Awards for Public Service was founded in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Senator Robert Taft, Jr., and Samuel S. Beard as the country’s highest honor for public service and volunteerism.

Principal Brodie Bricker, advisor Jean Shew, team leader Allyson Dixon and six members of the GTCHS team traveled to Washington, D.C. to receive the award.

At Greenville Tech Charter High School, students have turned losing three parents to heart related trauma last year into CPR training for everyone at the school, and support of passed legislation requiring CPR training in all SC public high schools.  Greenville Technical Charter High also held a SC Flood Victims drive, Syrian Warm Clothing Drive, promoted Heart Healthy Month, raised money for the Julie Valentine Center, and a blood drive.
