Dear Gloucester High School Community,
It is with great excitement and anticipation that I introduce myself as the new Acting Principal of Gloucester High School.
With over 30 years of experience in the field of education, I am honored to lead in Gloucester County Public Schools (GCPS). During the 2024-25 school year l was honored to serve as a secondary substitute administrator at Page Middle, Peasley Middle, and Gloucester High schools.
My journey in education has been diverse and enriching; beginning in 1994 having served as a middle school band director in Hampton City Schools, as a graduate school fellow at Regent University, as a Dean of students in Norfolk Public Schools, as an Assistant Principal at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in Newport News Public Schools; and as a summer school principal for NNPS (high school). I am passionate about creating an engaging and enriching high school experience for all students and a professional learning environment for faculty and staff to develop and grow. Our students deserve a learning environment where they feel supported, valued, and challenged.
My vision is to focus on school climate, student achievement, expectations, and leadership development. By partnering with parents, families, and the community, schools can provide a collaborative environment with all stakeholders. I am looking forward to a rewarding school year for our students, staff, and families. Thank you for welcoming me into the Gloucester High School community. I am excited to meet each of you and to embark on this exciting journey together. ln the meantime and beyond, I look forward to meeting students, staff, parents, community members, and alumni, and learning about your experiences, points of excellence, the rich history, and vision for our school and the community.
Yours in Education,
Ade Brayboy, Acting Principal
Gloucester High School
