IN
THE GCPS
When we hear the term " world-class," a number of businesses, organizations, services, and products most likely come to our minds. They have earned that title by offering extraordinary service and delivering high-quality products we want to use. The Gwinnett County Public Schools' goal is to be the school system of choice- the one with the schools all parents want their children to attend, the one other school systems aspire to be like. We plan to become a "system of world-class schools" by doing the same things other world-class organizations- offering extraordinary service (instructionally and operationally) and delivering high-quality products (a rigorous, academic curriculum that prepares students for the future.) Our vision and mission statements both refer to "world-class," and list the attributes we believe characterize a world-class school. We encourage parents, business leaders, and community members to share our vision and help us make the GCPS a "system of world-class schools."
