Today's photo features Dr. Sharon Contreras, who was named Superintendent of Guilford County Schools on June 28, 2016. In the past ten months, Dr. Contreras has worked tirelessly, getting to know as many stakeholders as possible in the community she serves. Last night, she was the guest speaker at the Delta Kappa Gamma initiation for new members in the Greensboro chapters. Dr. Contreras' talk was inspirational. She encouraged women to work hard, believe in themselves and their students, and to apply for leadership roles in the profession. She reminded the educators in the room to take care of themselves so that they, in turn, will be able to take care of others; to ensure that every student has the opportunity to discover his/her passion; and to work hard for what they believe to be good and meaningful. Although formerly an English teacher, Dr. Contreras is passionate about S.T.E.M. education and its potential to solve some of the health problems in the world. She is committed to ensuring that all students in Guilford County graduate career and college ready.
We welcome Dr. Contreras to Greensboro and the educators at Delta Kappa Gamma are very grateful for her taking time out of her busy schedule to speak at the initiation meeting.
An excellent shot of her. She sounds good for the job.
