🎉 Celebrating the Last Day of School with our amazing SCS Transportation team! 🌭
Today, our dedicated bus drivers returned their buses for the summer and enjoyed a well-deserved Hot Dog Celebration at the Bus Garage. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to relax, enjoy lunch, and socialize before heading off for summer break. Thank you to all our bus drivers for keeping our students safe and on the move throughout the school year. Have a fantastic summer, and we look forward to seeing you again in the fall! 🚌💛 #ThriveSCS

The selections allowed audience members to see all of the skills and talents that students cultivated this school year. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! #ThriveSCS
Surry Central High School seniors are making their mark! 🌟 🎓
Today, seniors completed their senior walk, visiting all of our elementary and middle schools in the Central District. They were greeted with cheers, high-fives, and smiles as they walked the halls where their educational journey began. It's a beautiful reminder of how far they've come and the bright futures ahead. Congratulations, seniors! We're so proud of you! 🎉 #ClassOf2024 #SeniorSpotlight
