Principal

Mary Nell Anthony is an educator who is motivated by helping all students be as successful as possible. She loves working with students to reach their highest potential, and believes that high expectations paired with strong support enables that to occur.  A National Board Certified teacher, she spent 12 years in the classroom working and was awarded the C.F. Reames teaching award from Anderson University, both school and district Teacher of the Year, and the Milken Educator Award in 2005 prior to moving into an administrative role.  Serving as a graduation coach, Dean of Arts and Science, Assistant Principal of Instruction, and Academy Director in a large traditional high school provided a variety of experiences and a strong knowledge base prior to coming to Greenville Technical Charter High School.   On a personal level, she has a supportive husband along with two children who keep her grounded in understanding the "parent side" of education.  Because of her belief that a leader must also be a servant and that "excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better," she welcomes input from parents, students, and teachers on how to make GTCHS a place where all students thrive.
