Superintendent's Expectations
Begin with the end in mind . . . what do you want for the children and staff for whom you’re responsible?
Build POSITIVE relationships with student, staff, parents and community members. They go a long way when the chips are down.
Being PROACTIVE pays bigger dividends than being REACTIVE.
Be a problem-solver; Become part of GPISD’s Solution-Driven Team!
Nurture, mentor and support those you serve; Prepare those with the qualities to be leaders. In other words, BUILD CAPACITY.
GROW professionally—remember, you too are a lifelong learner.
Each of you has within you the capacity for GREATNESS. Don’t let being “good” be good enough.
It’s still all about what’s BEST for our children!
EXCELLENCE is the ONLY OPTION! No excuses!
