Sylvia Wright
VOICE is pleased to welcome back Sylvia Wright as our guest speaker at our upcoming April VOICE Luncheon.
Sylvia first spoke to our group in November, and we are delighted to have her return as her campaign for South Carolina Superintendent of Education continues to gain momentum. With more than two decades of service in public education, Sylvia brings deep experience and a clear-eyed understanding of what our students, teachers, and schools truly need.
Her background as an educator, educational leader, military spouse, and parent gives her a broad and compassionate perspective on the challenges facing South Carolina’s public schools. Sylvia is running because she believes our state deserves an education leader who listens, leads with integrity, and puts students first.
At our April luncheon, Sylvia will share updates on her campaign, her vision for strengthening public education across South Carolina, and why she believes experienced educators belong in leadership at the state level.
