The individuals recognized by GASSP today are role models for principals at all levels.
This year, Dr. Green celebrates his 10th anniversary as principal at North Gwinnett High. He joined Gwinnett County Public Schools as a math teacher and coach at Meadowcreek High in 1987, moving to Berkmar High and Brookwood High as assistant principal before arriving at North Gwinnett High.
