@apsupdate One of the Greatest Leaders!!

After dedicating 10 years as principal of Burgess-Peterson Academy in east Atlanta, David White stepped away from leadership and into retirement last year. But what many imagine as a time of rest quickly became something else; he found himself missing the daily connections, the energy of students, and the sense of purpose that came with being part of a school community. Determined to reconnect with what he loved most, White didn’t stay away for long. When the opportunity arose to return as the school’s site manager just eight months later, he embraced it wholeheartedly. Now, instead of leading from the front office, he supports the school in a new way, ensuring the campus runs smoothly while continuing to build meaningful relationships with students and staff. His return as a Site Manager is a powerful reminder that passion for education doesn’t simply end at retirement….it evolves! #APSNews #APSExcellence Video credit (ANF: Atlanta News First)
