Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent/CEO Search

The Board of Education is leading a transparent and inclusive search process focused on excellence. In May 2025, the BOE selected Alma Advisory Group (“Alma”) to conduct a national search for the next superintendent of GCPS.

As the first step in the process, the BOE will work with Alma to engage students, families, staff, and the community in August and September 2025 to develop a candidate profile. This profile will identify the characteristics, skills, and experience needed by the next superintendent of GCPS to address the district’s needs and priorities.

This page will be continuously updated with the latest search progress, events, and information. 

Phase 1: Community Engagement (Complete)

We are nearing the end of Phase 1 of our superintendent search process. Thank you to everyone who participated in surveys, community gatherings, and focus groups. Your input has been invaluable, and we appreciate the many ways the community has supported this process. 

Staff and Community Survey

The community survey is now closed. Your responses will help inform the Board's selection of the district's next leader.

Community Gatherings, Focus Groups, and Interviews

Open to the GCPS community, each Board of Education member hosted an in-person community gathering in their board district, between September 16-24, 2025, with the Alma Advisory Group team facilitating the discussion. Each gathering included a brief overview of the search process, followed by a facilitated small-group discussion designed to ensure all voices are heard. Additionally, the Alma Advisory Group conducted in-person and virtual focus groups with students, families, staff, district partners, business leaders, and community partners. 

For those who missed the September District Community Gathering opportunities, we also offered a final virtual Community Gathering in mid-October. 

Phase 2: Job Profile and Candidate Recruitment 

The Gwinnett County Board of Education held a Special Called Meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025,  at the Instructional Support Center in Suwanee. You can view the meeting recording through the GCPS TV website. 

This prospectus reflects what matters most to our families, students, staff, and community partners: strong communication, equitable opportunities, safe and welcoming schools, and a leader who puts students at the center of every decision.
