Hi Spartanburg Preparatory School Students, Families, and Community Members!

My name is Dr. Whitmire, and I am a native of Union, SC. I received my B.A. degree in Elementary Education in 2008 from Limestone College and began teaching at Spartanburg Preparatory School after serving as a substitute and special education paraprofessional for several years in schools in Union and Cherokee counties. I taught 4th and 5th grades for several years at Spartanburg Prep before becoming the Dean of Students in  2015, followed by the assistant principal in 2016. In 2017, I was named the Interim Head of School of Spartanburg Preparatory School, followed by the Head of School in 2018 and currently serve as the Executive Director. 

Throughout my time as an educator, I continued to be a student. I received my Master's in Middle-Level Teaching with an emphasis in math from Liberty University in 2011. I also received my Education Specialist Degree in Supervision and School Administration from Liberty University in 2013 and completed my Ed.D in Supervision and School Administration in 2020. Along the way, I have been actively involved in my community as a member of several organizations and in a variety of community efforts.

I am a happily married mother of two beautiful daughters. My hobbies include spending time with my family, reading, shopping, and traveling.
