Dr. Rob Brown, Superintendent of Lumpkin County School System, was elected to serve as the President of the Georgia School Superintendents Association (GSSA), the state’s premier organization representing the over 180 public school superintendents in our state. Dr. Brown began his term as GSSA president at this week’s Georgia Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL) summer conference in Jekyll Island, and his term will continue through the 2021-2022 school year.
Having served as president-elect for GSSA for the past year, Dr. Brown’s involvement in GSSA will continue to bring recognition to the state of Georgia and its school districts. As a proven leader in the field of education, in numerous professional organizations, and in our community, Dr. Brown also currently serves as Board Chair for the Pioneer RESA Board of Control and as the Board Chair of the Cooperative Purchasing Agency for our region.
With a record of impressive leadership, Dr. Brown has presented at conferences across the state and at the national level. Under his leadership, schools and districts have been identified as some of the best as evidenced by Dr. Brown having accepted awards for being a National Blue-Ribbon Schools of Excellence Lighthouse School, Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) finalist for Governance Team of the Year, a GSBA Leading Edge District two years in a row, the Georgia Charter System Leadership Development system for 2020-2021, a Georgia School Public Relations Association (GSPRA) Gold level, and a Georgia Association of School Personnel Administrators (GASPA) Best in Class Award.
On behalf of the Lumpkin County BOE and the school district as a whole, it is an honor to congratulate Dr. Brown on being elected to serve as President of GSSA. When the work you see him leading every day in Lumpkin County is recognized and rewarded by others in our region, state and nation, it energizes all of us with excitement and pride. Dr. Brown’s commitment, dedication, and continued excellence in the field of education is inspirational, and our students are the benefactors of his focus on educating and empowering life-long learners.
With over twenty-five years in education, Dr. Brown began his sixth year this month as superintendent of Lumpkin County Schools. He and his wife, Betsy, also an educator in our district, make Lumpkin County home with their 20-year-old son, Keller, a student at the University of North Georgia.
