Lexington 1 superintendent Greg Little to resign at end of school year. Here’s why
Lexington 1 superintendent Greg Little has announced his plans to leave the district at the end of the school year.
The announcement came in a district email Wednesday afternoon, in which Little shared his plans to join the S.C. technical college system later this year. He will serve as a vice president of strategic partnerships and innovation in the college system’s administration.
“I am immensely proud of all we have accomplished together as a team in Lexington District One. I am honored to work alongside devoted professionals who continuously dedicate themselves to serving students and their families,” Little said in a statement. “I am humbled to have worked shoulder to shoulder with a devoted Board of Trustees, outstanding principals, central services administrators, and school and district staff to improve student outcomes and, more importantly, student lives.”
Little has been the district’s superintendent for six years. He oversaw the opening of Beechwood Middle School, the construction of Centerville Elementary School, a new Pelion Middle School and the new Lakeside Middle School set to open in August. The latter three are the result of a $365 million bond referendum overseen by Little.
Little also helped create The College Center, which allows students to graduate high school while earning an associate degree.
“Dr. Greg Little’s steady, visionary leadership for the last six years has made a lasting impact on Lexington District One,” said School Board Chair Anne Marie Green. “I am grateful for his deep devotion to our students, unwavering support of our staff and wholehearted service to our community. On behalf of my fellow trustees, I want to thank Dr. Little and wish him well in the next chapter of his career. Looking forward, we are committed to the planning process to select the next dynamic leader of Lexington District One.”
The school district’s announcement praises Little’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused schools across the state to shut down and quickly transition to new remote forms of learning. He helped set up Lexington 1’s Online Learning Academy, or LOOLA program, focusing on providing high-quality education for every student while prioritizing the health and safety of students and staff.
