Gwinnett County Public Schools Careers

Ours might be the largest school district in Georgia and the 11th largest in the nation ... but one of the most common reasons staff and families say YES to GCPS is the feeling of community.

Principal Nathan Ballantine, his team and students are beyond proud of the family atmosphere they get to experience every day.

We often share the various reasons our teachers have said YES — one of the most common reasons? The students. It turns out, the students are pretty grateful these dedicated educators have said YES, too!

This one's for every teacher who shows up, lifts up, and never gives up on a single child in their care. You are the reason. You are the YES. Thank you for saying YES to our students.

To the moms who pack the lunches, sign the permission slips, show up to every game and recital, and somehow still have room to give more — we see you. Happy Mother's Day from your Team GCPS family. Thank you for raising the future we have been given the privilege of teaching.

Meet Stephanie Stewart, Principal of Mountainview High School. Stephanie is a product of Gwinnett County Public Schools — and after more than 30 incredible years serving the district that shaped her, she's preparing to retire. But before she does, we asked her to share her journey, why she said YES, and what it's meant to come full circle in the place she's always called home.

Her staff weighs in too — and trust us, you'll feel every word.

A career like this doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a district invests in its people, and its people invest right back. Thank you, Stephanie, for saying YES to GCPS for 3 decades and leaving a powerful legacy of service, compassion, and leadership.
