Wright McLeod

The principle of “service before self” has guided Wright throughout his life. A native Augustan, Wright was an Eagle Scout, private pilot, and marathon runner. He graduated from Westside High School and earned an appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Commissioned an Ensign in 1982, Wright earned his wings of gold as a Naval Flight Officer and flew the F-14 Tomcat on multiple combat deployments, including 54 missions in Operation Desert Storm. From a young age, Wright knew serving our country and protecting the values that made it great was the right thing to do.

Wright earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from the Naval Academy, a Masters in National Security Studies from Georgetown University, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Georgia School of Law. Wright and his wife, Sheri, have been married 28 years and are the proud parents of three daughters: Collier, Margaret, and Grace. The McLeods attend the Church of the Good Shepherd in Augusta.

Glenn O’Steen

I chose to serve on the board so that I could do my part in ensuring the children of our community receive the best education possible and are prepared to meet the challenges of, and excel in, an ever evolving and advancing global workforce. I believe the School Board should establish a clear vision for GSIC – we need to create and maintain an organization that allows our superintendent and administrators to manage our schools, lets teachers teach, and most importantly, allows students to learn.
