Let us commence the new school year with enthusiasm, dedication, and the shared vision of nurturing a brighter future for our students. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing each of you at our fall conference in Savannah this November. It will undoubtedly be a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and foster strong connections within our organization. I am thrilled to extend my warmest anticipation for our upcoming fall conference, set to take place in the charming city of Savannah this November. The horizon of this event holds the promise of invaluable experiences that will undoubtedly enrich our professional journeys. A canvas upon which we can paint fresh ideas, learn from one another's insights, and cultivate the fertile ground of collaboration. The conference stands as more than just a gathering; it's a remarkable opportunity to engage, evolve, and elevate.

I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unswerving dedication to excellence in education. Your tireless efforts, creative spirit, and commitment to our students' growth continue to inspire us all. It is through your collective passion that we are empowered to drive meaningful change and shape this academic year into an experience that will resonate for years to come.

Wishing you all a great start to the school year, and I eagerly await the joy of reconnecting with each of you in Savannah. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to excellence in education. Together, we can make this school year one of the most memorable and impactful experiences for all.

Letter from

Vice President

Leanne McCall

Colleagues,

It is my honor to serve as the Second Vice-President of GASSP.  I have been in education for 27 years and began my career as a middle school social studies teacher in the Cobb County School System. In 2008, my family moved to Valdosta, Georgia, where I served at Lowndes High School as an assistant principal and later at the Lowndes County Board of Education as the 6-12 curriculum director. In the summer of 2015, I was named the principal of Lowndes High School. 

I joined GASSP years ago as assistant principal because of the encouragement of my mentor, Mr. Wes Taylor. This organization is an amazing way to network with and learn from other educational leaders. I am currently in my ninth year as principal and have called on my colleagues in GASSP countless times regarding curriculum and instructional matters, new ideas for celebrating students and teachers, campus construction initiatives, safety and security processes, and the list certainly goes on. I cannot say enough about the many benefits of being a part of GASSP.

As we begin another school year, I am looking forward to serving our GASSP members across Georgia to make this the best year yet! If there is anything I can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be attending the GASSP Fall Conference in Savannah and I hope to see you there!  

Sincerely,

Ms Leanne McCall

Lowndes High School
