 The GCS STRATEGIC PLAN

In January 2013, Guilford County Schools launched its 2016 Strategic Plan, called "Achieving Educational Excellence: Personalizing Learning." The plan will focus on four areas: Personalized Learning (Area I); Character, Service and Safety (Area II); Parent, Family and Community (Area III) and Educator and Organizational Excellence (Area IV).

"I WANT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO KNOW THEY HAVE A PLACE IN THIS WORLD, A PLACE OF LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE TO OTHERS."

Maurice "Mo" Green, Superintendent
