As the 2021–22 school year comes to a close, 540 veteran educators and support staff members will mark their retirement from Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). In total, our 2021–22 retirees have contributed a collective 13,382.8 years of their lives to education, and a total of 11,278.5 years to Gwinnett schoolchildren. In fact, 57.8% (312) of our retirees have worked their entire careers—in the classroom, office, cafeteria, bus, or shop—in this school system. Among this year’s retirees, 186 have 30 or more years of service in education, 19 have invested 40 or more years in education, and two retirees have 50 years in education! Our retirees include one associate superintendent, one assistant superintendent; one chief strategy officer; one executive director; seven principals; veteran central office leaders; a number of longtime support staff members; and many administrators, classroom teachers, counselors, and media specialists. Whatever their post-retirement plans, hearty congratulations are in order for all of our retirees, along with our thanks for their service to Gwinnett County Public Schools.
