Superintendent's Expectations
1. Begin with the end in mind . . . what do you want for the children and staff for whom you’re responsible?
2. Build POSITIVE relationships with student, staff, parents and community members.
3. Being PROACTIVE pays bigger dividends than being REACTIVE.
4. Be a problem-solver; Become part of GPISD’s Solution-Driven Team!
5. Nurture, mentor and support those you serve: BUILD CAPACITY.
6. GROW professionally—remember, you too are a lifelong learner.
7. Each of you has the capacity for GREATNESS. Don’t let being “good” be good enough.
8. It’s still all about what’s BEST for our children!
9. EXCELLENCE is the ONLY OPTION! No excuses.
