VOLUME 35, NUMBER 6 SPECIAL RETIREMENT ISSUE – MAY 2015

More than 500 GCPS retirees prepare for next chapterAs the last bell rings for the 2014–15 school year, 515 veteran educators and support staff members

will mark their retirement from Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). In total, our 2014–15 re-tirees have contributed a collective 12,523 years of their lives to education, and a total of 9, 605 years to Gwinnett schoolchildren. In fact, 49% (251) 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, 144 have 30 or more years of service in education and 29 have invested 40 or more years in education. (The names of the 40+-year retirees are in maroon in the list below.) One retiree— Johnsie Cooper— has been a classroom teacher for 50 years! Our retirees include four 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, best wishes go with all of our retirees, along with our thanks for their service to Gwinnett County Public Schools.

This list reflects retirees who announced their plans by May 1, and includes only those retirees who requested to be part of the issue when they completed the GCPS Retirement Office questionnaire. A number of retirees chose not to be included. The years of service are self-reported by the retirees.
