John Calvert was born in Inman, South Carolina, on August 22, 1928. He was the seventh child in a family of thirteen. In eighth grade, he was thrown out for being disruptive and decided to join the navy so he would not be a burden and a disappointment to his parents. After several years in the navy, he returned home and returned to school and graduated from Wofford College in 1952. He was offered his first job in education in Bethune and worked there until 1958, when he came back to Spartanburg County to marry the love of his life, Mary York. They both have been involved in the educational system ever since.
