We are excited to welcome back Martin Son, who taught at GES from 2018–2020, as our next Superintendent/Principal.
Mr. Son is a passionate and approachable school leader with 16 years of experience as a teacher and administrator. He genuinely cares about students, staff, and families, and brings energy and enthusiasm to creating a positive, supportive school culture where everyone can thrive. With his collaborative approach and focus on people, he is a natural fit for GES. He is committed to building on the successes and momentum already happening in our school community.
During his time at GES, Mr. Son taught junior high math, led a Lego Robotics Program, and facilitated an after-school STEM club and summer STEM camp. Now he returns ready to lead our Bulldog family with vision, collaboration, and innovation. His background includes successes in student achievement, SEL, curriculum alignment, and community engagement.
While Mr. Son will officially start his tenure as Superintendent/Principal on July 1, he will begin connecting with staff and working alongside the leadership team in the coming weeks and months.
Please join us in giving a warm Bulldog welcome back to Mr. Son.

What an incredible moment for Bulldog Country tonight.
At this evening’s boys basketball game, members of the Kernel Nut Club presented Superintendent Becker with a $50,000 check in support of the Raise the Roof Capital Campaign. This generous gift is a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together for its kids.
