Superintendent's Student Advisory Council

The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC) is a group of middle and high school students from across Gwinnett County Public Schools who meet with the Superintendent to share ideas, give feedback, and help make our schools even better.

As a member of SSAC, students will:

  • Talk about what’s working well and what could be better in your school.
  • Share creative ideas to solve problems.
  • Learn about Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) and how the district operates.
  • Provide input on district initiatives, policies, and practices.
  • Work with other students to help shape the future of our district.
  • Develop leadership skills and meet students and staff from across the county

Our Superintendent, Dr. Estrella, is looking for students to join the 2026-27 SSAC who care about all students—not just their own friends or school—and who are respectful, honest, and ready to listen and lead. She values student voice and is seeking students who want to learn, grow, and help others do the same.

Meetings are held in person at the Instructional Support Center (ISC) in Suwanee. These meetings are more than just a time to talk—they’re also a chance for you to grow as a leader. We’ll take photos at each meeting to capture our time together, including a big group photo at our first meeting in September. Attendance is expected; if you are not able to attend, the expectation of student leaders is that they will communicate in advance so an alternate can be invited to attend in their place. Students who attend 75% or more of the meetings will receive recognition for their participation at the final meeting.

If you’re ready to be part of a team that listens, learns, and leads—this is the opportunity for you.

Most meetings are in person at the Instructional Support Center (ISC) in Suwanee from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Doors open at 9:00 a.m. Snacks and drinks will be provided.
