Greg Drescher, Superintendent of Schools

This press release was received today from Greg Drescher, Superintendent of Schools:

It is with mixed emotion that I announce my plans to retire January 1, 2020.

This year marks my 37th in education and my fifth year as the Superintendent of Schools in Warren County.

Many are aware of the health challenges my wife, Debbie, has been going through these last several years. The stage that she is in now is accelerating my retirement plans so that we can enjoy more time together. While certainly not the exact path I would be choosing, it is the right thing to do and I have no doubt will be best for all concerned.

Debbie and I came to Warren County in 1983. We started teaching in Rappahannock County but within a few years we were both teaching in Warren County and we stayed for the duration.

It has been a privilege to grow here professionally and our community has been wonderful place to raise our two children. We made many dear friends while being a part of a caring and child centered school system that makes a difference in students’ lives every day.

Warren County Schools are in a good place systemically and in great hands with the leadership we have at all levels. There is an ongoing effort to ensure we have the best people in place to do the best for our students. I leave knowing that our community supports our students and we will continue on the path of continuous improvement.

I thank all of those that have been my mentors and all of those that I have worked with side by side. Our schools are filled with kind and competent individuals and I am so proud to have been a part of Warren County Public Schools.

I look forward to seeing all of the great things that will happen in the future.
