My name is Luis S.N. Reyes, Superintendent of the Guam Public
School System on the beautiful island of Guam. The Guam Public School
System is a single unified school district consisting of grades
Kindergarten through 12. With twenty-five (25) elementary schools, seven
(7) middle schools, four (4) high schools and an alternative school
located throughout the island, the Guam Public School serves over 31,000
students each year. My goal as Interim Superintendent is to make
positive changes within GPSS that will provide and create the best
educational programs for our students leading them to a brighter future.
Our vision is to prepare all students for life, promote excellence, and
provide support through our educational system. As teachers,
administrators, parents and other stakeholders, the Guam Public School
System understands the challenges presented to it each day and holds
itself accountable for improving student achievement prudently managing
revenues and resources.
As
one of many steps in improving accountability to our stakeholders, we
have established this website as an informational tool and resource to
keep you up to date. The website contains various news information,
facts, and reports such as the Annual State of Public Education Report,
mandated by Guam Public Law 26-26. Within the website, you will also
find the “Superintendent’s Update” which will be updated regularly to
provide an agency-wide perspective on important developments within the
Guam Public School System. Our goal is to increase communication
throughout the island regarding important initiatives for Guam’s public
school students. You will also find links to press releases that contain
timely information relative to the Guam Public School System.
I
invite and encourage the public to make a difference in our educational
system and throughout the island by attending the Guam Education Policy
Board meetings. These meetings are held to allow the public to voice
their concerns and ideas and to see how positive changes are made and
developed in the Guam Public School System. The Guam Education Policy
Board meets every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
usually in the Guam Public School System conference room, located below
the Superintendent's office in Hagåtña.
Thank you and Si Yu’os Ma’ase.
