Whereas, Rodney Graves, Broome High School principal, has this to say of this beloved Spartanburg County School District Three icon: "During my thirty-plus years in education, Skip Frye has to be one of the most respected coaches, athletic directors, mentors, educators, and, most importantly, class acts. Broome High School is fortunate to have him on our team. He sets the standard for the rest of us to follow"; and
Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, Skip Frye earned a bachelor's degree in English education from the University of South Carolina Upstate in Spartanburg, followed by a master's degree from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, having begun his teaching career in 1979 at Laurens Junior High, Coach Frye moved in 1981 to Spartanburg County School District Three. There, he taught for a year at Cowpens Junior High and then transferred to Broome High School in 1982 as an English teacher and coach; and
Whereas, in 1983, Skip Frye began coaching track and field at Broome, and the following year he started the school's cross country program; and
Whereas, as a track coach, he has won four state championships, five upper-state championships and twenty-nine region championships. In cross country, Coach Frye owns twelve region championships, two upper-state championships, and one state championship; and
Whereas, most recently, the boys' track team won its eighteenth consecutive region championship, giving them the top prize for the region every year since the turn of the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, furthermore, Coach Frye, whose career spans thirty-five seasons of coaching track and field and thirty-four seasons of coaching cross country, is a South Carolina Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame member, having been inducted in 2010; and
Whereas, Skip Frye finds his greatest strength in the strong support of his beloved wife, Chris, their three fine children, and their delightful grandchild; and
