ABOUT THE EVENT:

Under the leadership of J. Alvin Wilbanks and the stewardship of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Public Schools is regarded as one of the most successful school districts in America, whose schools, students, staff, and programs win acclaim year after year for their many accomplishments.

To learn more about how Superintendent Wilbanks and GCPS are overcoming the challenges and raising the bar on student achievement, attend the September 16 General Membership Meeting and hear the annual State of the Schools Address.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

J. Alvin Wilbanks, CEO/Superintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), is in his 20th year as head of the state's largest school district, which in 2015-2016 will enroll more than 176,000 students in its 136 schools.

Under Wilbanks' leadership, GCPS has earned a reputation as one of the most successful school districts in the country. The Broad Foundation honored GCPS three times by naming the district the winner of the nationally prestigious Broad Prize for Urban Education in 2010 and 2014, distinguishing it as the best urban school district in the nation based on overall performance and progress in reducing achievement gaps among ethnic groups and between low- and non-low-income students. GCPS also was a finalist for the Broad Prize in 2009.

Gwinnett County Public Schools is committed to preparing all students for success in college, careers, and life. There have many accomplishments during Wilbanks' tenure, but the district also faces challenges in pursuing that mission. Among them are budget constraints; a student population growing in numbers, diversity, and poverty, and the need to continuously innovate and improve in its core business of teaching and learning. The district is creatively addressing those challenges, keeping steadfast its commitment to high student achievement as its schools educate and prepare Gwinnett's workforce of the future.
