This Superintendent accomplishes this with the aid of other individuals and groups that comprise the Administration. The current Superindent is Dr. Johnny Brown of Atlanta, Georgia. He is strongly supported by his Deputy Superintendent and long-time friend, Dr. Morcease Beasley, of Atlanta, Georgia.
