Local School Councils were created to improve communication and participation of parents and the community in the management and operation of schools. The Local School Council meets at least 4 times a year to share and discuss updates, as well as to receive feedback, about our school plans.

• Please use this LINK to nominate a parent to our local school council!

• We will hold elections on September 9, 2022 at 9:30 AM via Zoom. The link will be posted here next Friday.

• Our first Local School Council meeting will take place on September 13, 2022 at 9:30 AM in Duluth HS.

Thank you!

Hello Parents,

We are in the process of collecting feedback from parents, teachers, and students to select our school goals for the 2022-2023 school year. We will be using GCPS' new strategic priorities for the next 5 years to select our goals. These strategic priorities are summarized in the "Blueprint for the Future".

Please read this 1-page document to learn more about the Blueprint for the Future, and then use this feedback link to share your feedback with us.

Thank you,

Dr. Hernandez
