Please join me in welcoming our new Data Entry Clerk, Deanna Stanley. Mrs. Stanley lives in Pickens and was formerly a Data Entry Clerk at Hagood Elementary. She and her family moved to Haiti in 2018 to do missions. After returning in 2021, she then went to Greenville County Schools to work as a K5 assistant. She is happy to be back in Pickens County and working at Daniel! Mrs. Stanley is married and has 3 children and 2 grandchildren. She enjoys spending time with them, walking on the Doodle Trail, and reading. When asked what she is looking forward to the most this year, she replied: "I am really looking forward to being a part of the Daniel family this year!" Welcome Mrs. Stanley!
Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Lynn Potts as she moves into a new role as our Study Hall supervisor! Mrs. Potts has been a member of the D. W. Daniel High School family for several years. She is always willing to step up where needed making her a huge asset for our school. Mrs. Potts grew up in Anderson, SC and graduated from TL Hanna High School before earning her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Clemson University. She is married to Stephen Potts, and they have two children and one grandson. She enjoys reading while sitting on the beach with a cool breeze blowing. Many of our students remember Mrs. Potts from Edwards Middle School where she taught math. When asked what she likes most about teaching at Daniel, she replied: “I love watching students I’ve had the privilege to teach grow into young adults.”
If any upperclassman cannot make it to registration and does not receive their device on the first day of school, please speak with DHS Tech Hub staff in the Media Center or Tech Hub during the school day. Freshmen will receive devices on the first day of school if all fees are paid.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Silvia Marin, our new Testing Coordinator. Originally from Miami, Florida, Ms. Marin taught in Bronx, NYC before moving back to Miami where she was the ESOL and Testing Coordinator for an 8th-12th grade school. This will be her 11th year as an educator. She recently moved to South Carolina with her family, and they love the hiking trails and the weather! As the Testing Coordinator, Ms. Marin looks forward to impacting students' lives by giving them tools to succeed so they can accomplish anything they desire to do. She measures students’ success not only by their test scores, but also by those more intangible (and often more abiding) factors such as a passion for knowledge or a life-lesson learned. Last but not least, she loves seeing all the seniors cross the stage at graduation. Welcome to Daniel, Ms. Marin!
Please join me in welcoming Mr. Aaron Bates, our new math teacher at D.W. Daniel High School! Mr. Bates will be teaching Foundations of Algebra, Algebra 1 and PreCalculus this year. He is a graduate of Liberty High School and attended Clemson University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Since he has grown up in the Pickens County area, he is excited to have this opportunity to serve in a school district he cares so deeply about. Mr. Bates enjoys serving at his church and watching football with his wife. As both of them are Clemson graduates, they never miss the Tigers play! Mr. Bates tells us he looks forward to helping students achieve their full potential by providing them with the necessary tools to succeed. Welcome Mr. Bates!
