Three decades post-merger, Guilford County Schools is on the verge of a new chapter – one full of opportunity and promise for the future of our children and grandchildren. However, we recognize that the context in which each school operates has changed. Technological advances, globalization, mental health challenges and a pandemic have all contributed to these rapid changes.
