A message from the Class of 2008: 

 

"During our senior year, the Class of 2008 vowed to make noticeable changes around the school, for students and faculty alike. In that spirit, we chose to commission a sculpture by Visual Arts department chair, Joe Thompson. We carefully considered the message this gift sends to future classes. Specifically, this sculpture represents a permanent testament to the special connection between the teachers and students here, a bond every student experiences. Our faculty, both arts and academic, puts in long hours, underscoring the faith they have in our work and our future. As the first piece of faculty art in the school's permanent collection, this sculpture will stand as a constant reminder of why students decide to make the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities their home."
