He sees the potential for student matriculation into rewarding futures through aligned structures and articulated pathways. As a Professor of Economics, Brad will contribute significantly to our board and school system in the areas of district budget, finance, and policy.

N-CCS Welcomes Cecilia Gordon to the Board of Education (12/2/2024) Dr. Cecilia Gordon is proud to join the Newton Conover City Schools Board of Education. As a family physician and hospice medical director, she has dedicated her career to caring for others and is excited about bringing that commitment to our schools. Dr. Gordon completed her undergraduate education at the University of Central Florida in graduating with a B.S. in Molecular and Microbiology. She then continued her studies at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine where she became a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2000. She then completed her residency at the Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro in 2003. Cecilia is the mother of six amazing kids and is deeply connected to our schools. Two of her children graduated from Newton-Conover High School, one from Discovery HS, and she currently has 3 children attending Discovery HS. Having been an involved parent for years, Cecilia understands firsthand the challenges and opportunities our schools face. She is passionate about helping all students succeed. Cecilia’s husband, Michael, is a local dentist and a Navy veteran. The Gordons are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and deeply believe in the importance of faith, service, and community. As a new N-CCS board member, Dr. Gordon will strive to listen, collaborate, and advocate for what’s best for N-CCS students, teachers, and families. She believes that strong schools are the foundation of a thriving community, and she is honored to play a part in shaping the future of Newton and Conover through education. Superintendent Dr. Aron Gabriel adds, “Dr. Gordon has the unique lens of having been a customer of our school system for a number of years with having her children here as students. Long before she aspired to become a member of the board of education, she and I had conversations about how to better create multiple pathways to success for students. She will significantly impact the work of our school system. I am excited to have her serving in this capacity”.
