We are thrilled to announce that the Education Foundation of Greenville’s 2026 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year is none other than Steve Day!
Please join us at the GHS Homecoming parade and game on Friday, October 16th, where we will celebrate Steve Day for his decades of service, leadership, and incredible dedication to the youth and future of Greenville!
Steve is a lifelong resident and proud 1975 graduate of Greenville High School, and he has spent decades giving back to the community that raised him.
From guiding clients for 30 years as a Financial Advisor with Ameriprise to his current work as the owner of The C.J. Nye Insurance Agency in downtown Greenville, Steve’s heart has always been right here at home.
His commitment to our schools, athletes, and students is truly unmatched. A former JV football coach, youth basketball and football coach, and dedicated mentor to students at GHS, Steve has always invested directly in our youth. Over the years, he organized and ran the annual GHS Football Golf Outing fundraiser and led the 2010 Bond Campaign as a passionate community advocate.
On top of that, Steve was a long-time, dedicated board member of the Education Foundation of Greenville, serving as Past President and staying active on multiple committees. He also served as President of the Greenville Athletic Alumni Association, worked with the Greenville Athletic Hall of Fame committee, and served as Investment Advisor for For Goodness’ Sake.
Behind every great man is a great family—Steve and his wife Lisa (also a proud GHS grad!) are the proud parents of two GHS alumni: Alex ('11) and Lauryn ('13).
We congratulated Steve on this well-deserved honor!
