Welcome to the Sumter County School System! It is a blessing, honor, and privilege to serve you as your superintendent. I am extremely excited about the possibilities ahead for the students, faculty, and staff of Sumter County Schools, and I am happy to be in this space at this time. We are moving into this school year with a renewed focus on improved academic achievement and a commitment to service toward our students, their families, and the communities we serve.

Moreover, we are moving forward with the belief that, “Service Is Sovereignty.” Knowing that what we do matters and how we do it is equally as important as what we do, for we strive to serve others. Therefore, as your superintendent, I have committed myself to improving district operations, paying close attention to details, initiating transparency and honesty while communication with all stakeholders.

Furthermore, as we strive to rebuild the character, reputation, and your trust in Sumter County Schools, I am reminded of this quote:

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.” Hellen Keller

Always remember that in Sumter County Schools,

SUCCESS IS THE ONLY OPTION! 

Anthony L. Gardner, Ed.D.
