Fall 4 GMCÂ benefits Greer Middle College, and will provide vital funding to the school and students who attend the local Greenville County public school. Since its doors opened in 2008, GMC has provided students the opportunity to take dual credit and college classes at Greenville Technical College while in high school, all for free.Â
GMC students volunteered over 16,000 hours in the community during the 2011-2012 school year while the school’s 2012 graduates – totaling 65 – were awarded $1,365,321 in scholarship money. Fall 4 GMC’s focus is to support these dedicated students as they raise money and awareness for their local public high school and its endeavors.
