Gwinnett County Public Schools

GCPS recognizes the careers and service of 518 retirees

     As the 2023-24 school year comes to a close, 518 veteran TeamGCPS educators and support staff members will mark their retirement from Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). In total, our 2023-24 retirees have contributed a collective 12,710 years of their lives to education, and a total of 10,772 years to Gwinnett schoolchildren. In fact, 295 (57%) of our retirees have worked their entire careers—in the classroom, office, cafeteria, bus, or shop—in this school district. Among this year’s retirees, 164 have 30 or more years of service in education, 14 have invested 40 or more years in education, and two retirees have 45 years in education!

    Our retirees include two cluster superintendents; five principals; veteran central office leaders; many administrators, classroom teachers, counselors, custodial staff, media clerks and media specialists, and a number of longtime support staff members. “On behalf of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your commitment to Gwinnett’s future, our students,” says Superintendent Dr. Calvin J. Watts. “Your careers and your dedication to our students have furthered the heart work of supporting teaching and learning in this school district, and our gratitude goes with all of you as you write the next, best chapter of your lives.”

GCPS retirees with 30 or more years in education appear in red.

♦ designates retirees with 40 or more years in education.
