Dr. Curtis Jones Named Georgia Superintendent of Year! That’s victory in progress!

Dr. Curtis L. Jones, Jr., was named 2019 Georgia Superintendent of the Year on December 7, 2018, by the Georgia School Superintendents Association (GSSA). The award was presented during a luncheon at the 2018 Georgia School Boards Association/Georgia School Superintendents Association’s Winter Conference in Atlanta.
Each year, GSSA calls for and accepts Superintendent of the Year nominations from local school boards, Regional Education Service Agencies, business organizations and education colleagues from throughout the state of Georgia. Four finalists for the top honor were announced at GSSA’s Fall Bootstrap Conference in October. Finalists for Georgia Superintendent of the Year were Dr. Curtis Jones, Bibb County Schools; Ms. Samantha Fuhrey, Newton County Schools; Dr. Michael Duncan, Pike County Schools; and Dr. Jeff Bearden, Forsyth County Schools. As Georgia Superintendent of the Year, Dr. Jones will compete for National Superintendent of the Year, to be awarded in February 2019 at The School Superintendents Association (AASA) National Conference on Education in Los Angeles.
“I am thankful and humbled by this recognition. I also know that this selection is because of the great work that teachers, principals and students are doing in the classrooms every day. It is because of the hard work that the senior cabinet and central office do to support school every day. And it is because of what parents and the community have done to support our efforts to increase reading proficiency, improve discipline, and make our schools safe, secure and fun places to be,” Dr. Jones said. Congratulations, Dr. Jones!
