Ragin will help students grow, excel in their studies

Posted

Shawn Ragin will make a wonderful addition to the Sumter School District Board. I have worked with Mr. Ragin for nearly seven years. He is equipped with a wealth of wisdom and knowledge about school operations. He owns a private school, Ragin Preparatory Christian Academy, that also functions as an afterschool academy for public school students.

He is an avid supporter of public education. As a product of public education in Sumter County, he certainly understands the needs and concerns of the children. Ragin was employed by Sumter Schools prior to the consolidation of both districts. He was also employed in the Lee County School District. He has a passion for uplifting our youth and giving them hope for the future.

He empowers them daily in his own program at Ragin Preparatory Christian Academy, at various churches around the community, on several platforms and through personal efforts. His drive for success is not a personal or selfish plight. It has always been about how he can help and uplift others. His natural leadership abilities are evident. We need his youth, wisdom, drive, sincerity and dedication in Sumter County. His presence is valid because of his ability to inspire and evoke a sense of pride and hope in everyone around him.

Please vote Shawn Ragin for the Sumter School District at-large seat on Nov. 6, 2018. If you have a child in the district, this choice is important. You want someone in office who genuinely wants to see your child excel and grow. Make the right decision.
