Each month of the 2023-24 school year, GCPS will spotlight one of our strategic priorities or Portrait of a Graduate competencies by sharing the stories of two clusters—highlighting their classrooms, notable events, community insights, achievements, community service projects, student organizations, volunteer efforts, and more.

In January, the district will focus on Collaborative Leadership in the Parkview and Peachtree Ridge clusters - https://www.gcpsk12.org/Page/36430

Collaborative Leadership

GCPS students build relationships with trust and compassion by making principled choices. They have a win-win mindset, and strive to listen and encourage diverse perspectives to collaborate towards a common goal. Working together, they can take risks and manage new technologies or opportunities to positively impact their communities.

Reminder…GCPS schools and offices will be closed on MLK Day - Monday, January 15 with students and staff returning to class on Tuesday, January 16.

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designed as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
