Dr. Cedrick Gray is the proud lead teacher of the Jackson Public School District. He was appointed superintendent by the Jackson Public Schools Board of Trustees in 2012. Since his arrival to Jackson, Dr. Gray has been acclaimed as a true educational visionary. His mantra of "Building Stronger Schools Together" has taken the Jackson Public School District to new heights. Under his leadership, Dr. Gray restored the District’s state and national accreditation status to "accredited" and "in good standing," respectively. Additionally, he led efforts to raise the number of high performing successful schools in the District, five of which have been designated in the top 10 percent in the state. His innovative approach to instruction also guided the District to its first-ever 1:1 digital initiative, in which all high school students in the District have a laptop computer and/or access to personal computing devices. He also helped establish a city-wide collaborative effort to improve educational opportunities for students through Alignment Jackson. Through his leadership and guidance, the District has been revived and given new focus. Its strategic direction process, "Wearing WIGs, having FITs, and saying ABCs," applies research-based focus to school improvement and student achievement. Dr. Gray is also an AMLE Institute for Middle Level Leadership faculty member
