Opening Doors to Success Day

Opening Doors to Success Day is an annual event held the first Saturday after the start of school.   On that day Greenville County Schools staff and community volunteers visit the homes of high school students who have not returned to school and ask them to come back.   

The youth and adults at the home are given information on resources and options available to the student to help them overcome any barriers to returning to school.  In addition the high schools are open to allow students to enroll that day and meet with the school Graduation Coach and guidance counselors.

2007-08:  Implemented at two high schools, Berea and Greenville high schools.  
  • 84 total visits
  • 15 students returned to school by the next Monday
  • More than 150 volunteers participated
