Final All Call Message from Dr. C. 06/30/2023
Good Evening GCPS Family:
This is Dr. Clemons calling. I hope that you are doing well on this Friday evening. As I close out my tenure today as Superintendent of Gloucester County Public Schools, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the community for the unwavering support that I have received over the last nine years. Gloucester County Public Schools is blessed to have outstanding students, families and staff and I could not have asked for a better community in which to work and live. Please know that I greatly appreciate your continuous and steadfast support for GCPS. I can truly say that we would not have been as successful over the years without your support, and for that I am forever grateful. I am confident that GCPS will continue to thrive with a continuing focus on improving student academic achievement where all students consistently receive first-class educational experiences and opportunities in safe and orderly environments conducive to learning.
I hope that you have a great weekend and enjoy the Fourth of July holiday. As a reminder, the school division will be closed on Monday, July 3rd and Tuesday, July 4th and will resume normal operations on Wednesday, July 5th.
Finally, it has been an honor to serve as “Your Superintendent” and I wish GCPS nothing but the best of success in the future. I am thankful to God that he gave me an opportunity to serve, and my family and I have been truly blessed to have been a part of your lives. Please know that I love each and every one of you, and I will continue to pray for you and the entire Gloucester community and hold GCPS forever close to my heart.
So in closing, thanks so much for everything. Stay safe, be blessed and for the final curtain call and last time:
Dr. C., Signing Off!!
Celebrating Dr. C! Join us at a drop-in reception from 4:00-6:30 PM on June 7th in the TCWEC Cafeteria.
