New Gainesville City Schools Superintendent Wanda Creel speaks briefly with a group of parents Thursday at the Gainesville Board of Education offices on Oak Street. Creel comes to Gainesville after serving four years as superintendent of Barrow County Schools.
It’s 4 a.m., and Wanda Creel is awake. “I am definitely a morning person,” she said, “and do my best work in the morning when things are fresh.” The educator and soon-to-be superintendent of Gainesville City Schools will eat a piece of fruit — usually an apple or orange — and kick-start her day with a Diet Coke.
