A Passion for Education and Excellence.

Sara Gillespie is a leader in Roswell’s educational community, with professional experience that spans both the education and business sectors.

"I have a strong commitment to the success of every student demonstrated by my support of strong foundational academic studies, open communication, and teamwork."

"In my leadership roles, I bring strong working relationships with students, parents, teachers, and community members to the table.  And as a mother of two children attending Fulton County Public Schools, I share personally in the success of our educational system.”

"I believe in the positive power of parents in their child's educational journey.  I am a committed advocate for parental rights and involvement because in a supportive educational environment, parents play a crucial role in their child's learning experience.  Parental involvement is particularly valuable for children with learning challenges."

Fiscal Responsibility.  Because It Matters.

Sara and her husband Joe moved to Roswell 8 years ago to raise their family. Roswell’s parks and recreation programs, homes with yards where children can play, and the friendly welcoming community are the attributes that brought them to North Fulton County.  In 2019, they started their national business in finance and consulting. 

“Fostering fiscal responsibility and increasing accountability in managing the school board’s current $2 billion budget is critical so that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently to benefit the students and the taxpayers.  My professional experience is unique in this election to rise to that continuing challenge.”  

Experience. Integrity. Knowledge. 

Sara’s passion for education and community service began early.  During her professional career in college admissions, Sara initiated and managed budgets, directed community outreach, created communication strategies, managed recruitment and volunteer roles supporting continued education for women and children. 

Currently, Sara is Co-President of the Mountain Park Elementary PTA in Roswell.  As a leader in the collaborative effort to establish the school’s Science Lab, the goal of providing a firsthand learning opportunity to all grade levels was successfully realized.
