School in Norcross, Georgia.
Norcross, GA (USA), November 26, 2012 -- LAN Systems, a leading Atlanta IT Consulting firm (
http://www.lansystems.com ), CEO Mary Hester was the “Principal for a Day” at Simpson
Elementary School in Norcross, Georgia. The program is a joint venture of the Gwinnett County
Board of Education and the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. Its objective is to provide CEO-
level business leaders a firsthand, authentic look at the operations of today’s schools and the
principals who lead them. Leaders observe the rewards, challenges, and satisfaction that come
with being the instructional and managerial leader of a modern public school.
Mary shadowed Ms. Bron-Gayna Schmit, Principal of Simpson EC, during her normal and very
busy schedule. Starting by participating in the Blessing Breakfast, Mary had the pleasure of
announcing the grants awarded to Simpson from the Norcross Cluster School Partnership. Mary
serves on the NCSP Grants Committee. After breakfast, they moved to the media center for the
morning television broadcast. Classroom visits, celebrating Thanksgiving with Indians and
Pilgrims and a meeting with the Simpson PTA were the highlights of the day.
“I was able to share in two celebrations on my day as principal,” said Hester. “One celebration
was for all our Thanksgiving blessings and the other to recognize Simpson Elementary as a
National Blue Ribbon School. Ms. Schmit is a highly-engaged principal that is loved and admired
by her staff, students and parents. It was an honor to spend the day with her.”
Simpson Elementary School is in Norcross, Georgia and serves over 900 students in
kindergarten through fifth grade.
