Office of the Superintendent

  • Dr. Brenda McCartney, Superintendent

    Dear Families and Staff Members,

    I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the 2024-25 school year. As the Superintendent of Schools, I am thrilled to be a part of a community that is dedicated to providing the best education possible to all students.

    In recent years, GCPS has implemented many positive changes that will continue to benefit our students and staff. We have invested in new technology to enhance the learning experience and are providing more opportunities for our students to succeed. Our pre-kindergarten programs have expanded to include a three-year-old program, support systems have broadened, and high school accelerated learning opportunities have grown significantly.

    As we step into a new academic year, I want to emphasize the crucial role that each and every one of you plays in our school community. Our schools are not just buildings, they are the heart and soul of our communities. By uniting our efforts, we can continue to provide challenging, relevant educational initiatives and expand learning opportunities for all.

    I want to personally express my heartfelt gratitude to all students, parents, staff, and community members for your support and commitment to our schools. Your dedication is the driving force behind our success, and
    I am truly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we embark on another fruitful year together.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Brenda E. McCartney
    Superintendent of Schools
