• Sam Walton once said, "Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish." The past presidents of SC/NSPRA, each in their own way, have improved this organization over the years through the investment they have made in each of the members. We are grateful for their service to helping SC/NSPRA serve as the voice for public education in South Carolina.
