December 6, 2021 – The Gordon County Board of Education has been recognized by the Georgia School Board Association (GSBA) as an Exemplary School Board for 2021.
Designed to highlight best practices in school governance and leadership, GSBA developed state standards for governance that lay the foundation of the tiered awards and recognition program. Exemplary status is the highest level of distinction achievable, requiring school boards to meet a strict set of criteria including demonstrating accreditation compliance and exceeding training requirements.
The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership. In 1998, GSBA was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education.

The Gordon County School system serves around 6,500 students in schools across the county including six elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools. The mission of the Gordon County School system is to build a collaborative culture that engages all students and staff in learning experiences leading to growth, empowerment, and transformation.
