Spartanburg County is buzzing with excitement after the Converse School Bus Shop received a brand new name—now known as the David T. Brewington School Bus Maintenance Center! This change comes as a heartfelt tribute to a true local legend, David Brewington, a dedicated school bus technician who has been serving the community for an astounding 58 years.
David Brewington began his impressive career back in 1967 when he first took the wheel as a school bus driver for Spartanburg School District Seven. Who would have thought that the young man who started transporting students would go on to have such a monumental impact on their safety and transportation over the decades? In 1969, he graduated high school and jumped right into the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE). His journey continued as he took on the role of a fuel truck operator at the Spartanburg Bus Shop.
By 1977, Brewington made a move to the Converse Bus Shop, which would become his home for so many years. It’s safe to say he’s experienced quite a few bus rides in his time!
On January 24, a special ceremony was held by the South Carolina Department of Education to mark this special occasion.

His commitment to student transportation safety is nothing short of inspiring, setting a standard for future leaders in the field. Safety first! It’s a motto that Brewington has embodied throughout his career, ensuring that the youngsters riding on those bright yellow buses arrive at school and back home safely every single day.
The newly named David T. Brewington School Bus Maintenance Center isn’t just a title; it’s a vital hub that serves several school districts in the area—namely, Spartanburg County School Districts Two, Three, and Seven. This center will continue to be a cornerstone in the community, providing important maintenance and support for the buses that play a crucial role in daily student life.
As Spartanburg County celebrates this renaming, it also reflects on a bright future ahead.
