The Gordon County Schools Board of Education is proud to announce that it has received the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2025 Exemplary Board Recognition, the highest honor in GSBA’s board recognition program.
This prestigious achievement highlights the Board’s strong commitment to effective governance, continuous improvement, transparency, and collaboration—key principles that foster excellent schools and expand opportunities for every student in Gordon County.
To earn this distinction, the Gordon County Schools Board of Education met and exceeded rigorous standards established by GSBA to recognize boards that demonstrate outstanding leadership and accountability in serving their communities.
The GSBA Board Recognition Program, developed by Georgia superintendents and school board members and based on the State Board of Education’s Standards for Effective Governance, was established in 1998 as one of the first programs in the nation to set clear, measurable expectations for local boards of education.
The program includes three levels of recognition: Quality Board, Distinguished Board, and Exemplary Board. Attaining the Exemplary level represents the highest standard of excellence and service for local school boards across Georgia.
This recognition reflects the Gordon County Schools Board of Education’s dedication to serving students, staff, and the community with integrity and vision. Through strong leadership and a shared commitment to student success, the Board continues to ensure that Gordon County Schools provides extraordinary educational opportunities that prepare every student for a bright and successful future.
