Hello All,
I wanted to just reach out and provide an update on the GMS principal position. After a very thorough interview process, the lead candidate was offered a contract. However, yesterday the applicant withdrew his name from consideration. After meeting with GMS staff this morning, the decision was made to open the position up again. I will keep you updated as we progress through this process to ensure that we get the best people possible to serve our students.Thank you,Tim BauerSuperintendentValdez City Schools(907)834-4702 -

Congratulations to Gretchen Kelly!
We are very excited to announce we have offered the position of Middle School Principal to Gretchen Kelly and she has accepted pending board approval. Valdez has been very selective in the process and at this time of year it is very rare to find this qualified of a candidate. Gretchen shares in our excitement.
Gretchen stated, “I’m a long-time Alaskan educator and am excited to accept the position of Principal for Gilson Middle School. I look forward to meeting all the students, families, and staff.”
Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Gretchen Kelly to Valdez.
