Beth Creswell Wilson ’96, PhD, who previously served as the Upper School Assistant Principal at The Galloway School in Atlanta, Georgia, returned to GPS in 2022 with a wealth of knowledge and experience in academic programming and curriculum development that focus on the whole child. Throughout her career, she has created and implemented signature programs to enhance the student experience in teaching and learning and offered increased student resources to help students thrive academically while emphasizing character education and social-emotional wellbeing. She brings to her role as Head of Upper School a passion for team building and supporting teachers, partnering with them to create a culture of collaboration, innovation, and reflection.
Beth brings integrity, curiosity, and empathy to all she does and brings to our school a depth and breadth of experience in curriculum development. As an alumna, she credits GPS for launching both of her careers—first as an urban designer and then as an educator.
