Gordon County Schools -

Two exciting announcements were made at the April 13 Board of Education meeting regarding our board members.

First, Post 6 board member Christie Fox accepted her nomination to become the new Vice Chairperson of the Board. Mrs. Fox’s willingness to step into this leadership role reflects her continued commitment to the students, families, and staff of Gordon County Schools. As a dedicated board member, she has consistently demonstrated thoughtful leadership, a strong understanding of governance, and a strong focus on supporting student success.

The Board then accepted the nomination and appointment of Mrs. Jennifer Dixon to fill the Post 4 vacancy.

Mrs. Dixon brings a deep and personal connection to Gordon County Schools as a lifelong member of the community, a proud alumna, and a parent of a current student. She and her husband, Keith Dixon, have been married for 27 years and are both graduates of Gordon Central High School. Their son, Sam, is a senior at Sonoraville High School, further strengthening her investment in the success of the school system.

With 27 years of experience in education, Mrs. Dixon has served in K-12 classrooms and now works in higher education within the Technical College System of Georgia. Her career provides a comprehensive understanding of the full educational journey from early learning through career readiness.

She currently serves as Assistant Dean of Public Service and Program Director of Early Childhood Education at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. In this role, she provides instructional leadership, oversees program quality and accreditation, manages budgets, supervises faculty, and works closely with community and school system partners to strengthen educational pathways.

Mrs. Dixon brings strengths in instructional leadership, strategic planning, data-informed decision-making, policy and governance, and a strong commitment to accountability and responsible stewardship of resources. She is passionate about building partnerships and ensuring all decisions remain focused on students.

Her perspective bridges K-12 and technical education, with a clear focus on preparing students not only for graduation, but for meaningful careers and lifelong success.

Mrs. Dixon is committed to serving with integrity, transparency, and an unwavering focus on what is best for the students, families, faculty, and staff of Gordon County Schools.

We congratulate Mrs. Fox on her appointment to Vice Chairperson and welcome Mrs. Dixon to our Board of Education.
