Strickland - Head of School

We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors have named Charlie Strickland Head of School for GCA. All the administrators will continue their current roles ( Charlie Strickland - Head of School/Upper School Principal, Steve Murr - Lower School Principal/Athletics,  Joan Shiver Pre-School Principle/Counselor, and Cile Warr - Director of Development).  The Board felt that they needed a point person, but we will continue to function as an administrative team.  Therefore, parents please remember that your first contact should be the appropriate school-level administrator.  

Mr. Strickland has been involved at GCA for more than five years, having started the strings program with Jeff Eenigenburg in 2008.  He has a master's degree in music and an administrative certificate from Georgia Southern University and is an elder at Grace Church.  Before coming to GCA, he taught part-time at Bainbridge College after retiring from the public school system, where he had experience teaching at all levels and served as the literary coordinator, choral director, and band director.  In 2001, he was named Star Teacher at Ware County High School.  Mr. Strickland was in the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam.
