Fellows in Education Visit Greenwood Elementary School

The 32 participants of the 2025-2026 Fellows in Education class enjoyed an informational visit to Greenwood Elementary School last week.

School Principal, Tina Johnson and her staff, shared the schools’ academic offerings along with the theme for this year – “Back to the Basics!.”  That includes high expectations of rigor, accountability, and student engagement as the foundation to build upon.

The group was entertained by local student musical talent during the lunch break and then the group was provided tours of the school facilities and witnessed engaging classroom interaction.

The Fellows program is designed to give community leaders a unique, behind-the-scenes look into several schools within Florence 1 Schools over a nine-month period.

Each month the program centers on a different educational experience that is unique to the classroom. The Fellows in Education program offers opportunities for leaders to contribute to the development of better education in the communities in which we live and work.

The Fellows In Education program is a partner project between Florence 1 Schools, the School Foundation and the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce.
