Dr. Eugene Wallace, Jr., has spent nearly 30 years in education. As CEO of a network of schools in Georgia, he’s shaped every level of the school experience, from classrooms to boardrooms. He started as an English teacher, earning recognition as a school leader along the way. But his real focus has always been on one thing: finding people’s potential.

Dr. Wallace’s leadership goes beyond titles. He’s a pastor, a scholar, and a mentor. He has a unique ability to connect with others and guide them toward excellence. His doctoral research on leadership and school culture has guided his approach. He’s built schools where every student feels seen and where success is a shared responsibility.

He believes leadership is about service to students, staff, and communities. He’s spent his career creating environments where people can grow and thrive together. And that’s what he works to instill in every school he leads.
