Hello Brockett Elementary family! I am thrilled to serve as the new Assistant Principal of Brockett Elementary School and become a part of this amazing community. I previously served as a Title I Academic Coach, supporting ESOL/SPED/Social Studies for over 3 years.  I  have over a decade of experience as an instructional leader, academic coach and classroom teacher, with 17 years as a 6-12 educator, in Social Studies and as an AP/World History, ESOL and Gifted teacher.  My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in History/Afro-American Studies from the University of Mississippi, a Master of Science in Teacher Leadership from Walden University, and an Education Specialist degree from Thomas University, along with a Tier I Educational Leadership certification from Georgia State University. 

I believe all students can learn and I have dedicated my career to supporting high-quality instruction, strengthening student achievement, and ensuring that all learners, especially students with diverse needs have access to meaningful, rigorous, and supportive educational experiences. My work has focused on building teacher capacity, using data to drive improvement, and fostering positive school cultures where students feel safe, valued, and challenged.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, writing, live music, watching football and baseball, and spending time with my family and friends. These interests keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, creativity, and joy, values I also bring into my work with students and staff.

I am excited to partner with our students, families, and staff as we continue Brockett’s strong tradition of excellence. I look forward to serving this incredible community and contributing to the success of every child at Brockett Elementary!

School Board Member: Ms. Allyson Gevertz District 4

School Board Member Allyson Gevertz
Ms. Allyson Gevertz is a native of Enid, Oklahoma. She attended Enid Public Schools, where her mother served as a School Board Member. After her high school graduation, she moved to Atlanta to attend Emory University. She received her Bachelor’s degree (magna cum laude) from Emory, then attended Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts for her Master’s and Specialist degrees in School Psychology.
After working for several years as a School Psychologist for Gwinnett County Public Schools, Allyson began community advocacy work for her county of residence, DeKalb County. She has focused on sexual assault prevention in positions ranging from hotline volunteer to Board of Directors Chair for Day League (formerly DeKalb Rape Crisis Center). As President of the Junior League of DeKalb County, Allyson joined the Leadership DeKalb Class of 2007. She is currently on the Board of Directors for Leadership DeKalb. Her passion for children and families led her to work on the Partnership for Community Action Board, the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra Board, the DeKalb Juvenile Court Judicial Citizens Review Panel, and the Board of Directors for DeKalb County Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS).

Because Allyson and her husband David have sent two children to DeKalb County Schools, she has spent many years focused on public education advocacy. She has served in various positions on local school PTAs and School Councils, eventually chairing the regional Emory LaVista Parent Council and DeKalb Chamber’s eduKALB. In 2013, she collaborated with other parent council leaders to form Parent Councils United (PCU), a county-wide grassroots advocacy group focused on educational excellence for all DeKalb students. As PCU Co-President, Allyson served on District-wide committees such as the DCSD Strategic Planning Advisory Committee, the Flexibility Advisory Committee, the Technology Advisory Committee and the Superintendent’s Advisory Council. She was a member of the DCSD team completing Harvard Business School’s Public Education Leadership Conference. In 2016, Allyson chaired the Education-SPLOST campaign. The initiative passed by 71% and is providing over $500 million for improvements to DeKalb Schools. Allyson will continue advocating for all DeKalb students in her role on the Board of Education.
