Fellow Citizens of Greeneville –

It is our honor to present the 2030 Report: Looking Ahead to Improve Education in Greeneville. When the Foundation leadership had the idea to commission a report on the state of education in Greeneville with a forward-looking approach, we assembled a committee representing the entire community to create a final product that included voices from across our city.

This report is based on more than 250 confidential surveys of parents, teachers, students, and community members who were asked a set of questions about the state of Greeneville City Schools. Our committee spent countless hours meeting, formulating the right questions, and conducting interviews to create this report, and we learned a tremendous amount about the place we love and call home. This report reflects the survey results and makes recommendations for the future.

One of the most encouraging aspects of this process was the universal recognition of something that the committee already knew: that Greeneville is a special place to call home. Our citizens have tremendous pride in our public schools and want the best for every generation that steps through the doors of our elementary, middle, and high schools. We hope you will read this report as it was written: an honest look at where we are as a district and hopeful recommendations in the spirit of continuous improvement.

Thank you,

Bob Leonard
Chairman
The 2030 Report Committee

GCS Education Foundation Seeking CORE Champion Awards Nominations

The Greeneville City Schools (GCS) Education Foundation is accepting public nominations for its 7th annual CORE (Commit, Optimize, Reinvest, & Equip) Champion Awards through January 28, 2019 in the categories of Outstanding Young Alumni, Distinguished Alumni, Distinguished Service, and Outstanding Patronage.

The winners of these awards will be introduced at the Education Foundation’s 7th annual CORE Champion Awards Banquet, to be held in April 2019.  The event will honor alumni and friends of the Greeneville City School System. CORE Champions will be honored for their commitment to the service to others, their ability to optimize resources, reinvest in the community, and equip others to be successful.

The selection committee seeks to review the broadest possible range of qualified nominees.

Nominations from the public should follow these guidelines:

• Outstanding Young Alumni Award will be granted to a Greeneville High School graduate who is 40 years old or younger when nominated, for significant accomplishments in their profession or chosen field of endeavor or for distinguished human service to their community, state, or nation, thereby providing students with an outstanding role model.

  
  

• Distinguished Alumni Award will be granted to a Greeneville High School graduate for their achievements, contributions, or service that benefits humankind and brings honor to the Greeneville City School System.

  
  

• Distinguished Service Award will be granted to an individual (alumni or non-alumni of Greeneville High School) who has demonstrated outstanding service and dedication to education in the town of Greeneville.

  
  

• Outstanding Patronage Award will be granted to a benefactor (alumni or non-alumni; individual, family, or entity) exemplifying outstanding dedication and patronage to public education. The awardee is deserving of recognition for their spirit of giving not only to the Education Foundation, but also to the youth in our community.
