As a 1997 graduate of McCormick High School, she is the proud daughter of William and Marion Hill of Plum Branch, SC.

Mrs. Turman works hard to fulfill the district mission to provide a quality education for every child, beginning at birth. She says, “It is an honor and a privilege to see how much students grow. McCormick County School District is doing great things and I am excited to be a part of history in the making.”
