Dr. Calvin J. Watts
Superintendent
Gwinnett County Public Schools
Dr. Calvin J. Watts has served as superintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS)—Georgia’s largest school district—since July 30, 2021. A former GCPS leader, he rejoined the district having served as superintendent of Kent School District (KSD), the fifth largest and the second most diverse school district in Washington. At KSD, Dr. Watts led a bold strategic planning process; focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and improved organizational effectiveness.
Prior to joining KSD, Dr. Watts served in GCPS for 13 years in varied leadership roles with increasing levels of responsibility. His education career also includes positions with the Archdiocese of Atlanta, Seattle Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools, and Carrollton City Schools.
A member of The Broad Academy Fellowship (2018-2019), he has a demonstrated record of success as an instructional, operational, and community leader. He has presented regionally and nationally on a number of topics including equity, personalized learning, and parent engagement.
Dr. Watts’ leadership philosophy always has been to reach and teach all students as if they had his last name. With this philosophy in mind, he and his wife have expanded their “family” to include the 180,000 children served in GCPS.
As superintendent of GCPS, Dr. Watts is focused on listening and learning in order to engage more people in the work of the school district and the strategic planning process. As part of that work, he launched a Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee, a Transition and Planning Team, and a Portrait of a Graduate Design Team. In addition, GCPS joined Learning 2025, a network of leading school districts that is sharing their learning and leadership to tackle the holistic redesign of the public school system. Under his leadership, the school district has brought new voices into the conversation about how GCPS can better serve the whole learner in terms of what our students need to be successful academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally so that we can ensure that each and every student thrives.
He earned a bachelor’s degree from Howard University, a master’s degree from the University of West Georgia, and his doctorate in educational leadership from Argosy University.
