    No. 07-14958.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Sept. 19, 2008.
    George M. Weaver, Hollberg & Weaver, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Malcolm Charles McArthur, Andrea L. Jolliffe, Hall Booth Smith & Slover, P.C., Athens, GA, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before DUBINA, HULL and FAY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Appellant Rimara Dewberry (“Dewberry”) appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Appellees Gilmer County School District (“GCSD”), Raiford Cantrell, Alexander B. Rainey, Sandra Davenport, Charme Harmon, and Julie Martin on her race discrimination claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17.

“We review de novo a district court’s grant of summary judgment, viewing all the evidence, and drawing all reasonable inferences, in favor of the nonmoving party.” Allstate Life Ins. Co. v. Miller, 424 F.3d 1113,1115 (11th Cir.2005).

After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs, and having the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the Appellees because Dewberry fails to show that the reasons given by the Appellees for hiring Payton, Parks, Young, or Watkins were a mere pretext for discrimination.

AFFIRMED. 
      
      . Martin was the GCSD personnel director from April 1999 through January 2004; Harmon and Davenport are principals at GCSD elementary schools; Rainey was the GCSD superintendent from December 1998 through December 2004; Cantrell is the current GCSD superintendent.
