Administration

Gregory S. Edmundson, Principal
Education & Work History

I would like to introduce myself as the principal of Great Seneca Creek Elementary School. I am honored to be appointed and eager to meet the community to begin this work together.

I would like to share some background information with you. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I earned my undergraduate degree from Penn State University. I earned my Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. I have spent my entire 14-year career in MCPS, serving students as a classroom teacher (at the elementary and middle school levels) and as an administrator. I was the assistant principal of Brooke Grove ES in Olney before completing my internship at Brown Station ES in Gaithersburg. I had been the principal of Darnestown Elementary School since 2002.

I live in Germantown with my wife and three children. We enjoy spending our time together bike-riding, camping, and playing the guitar near any campfire we can find. We are huge Steelers fans!

My goal is to build excellence at Great Seneca Creek Elementary through rigorous instruction, focused collaboration, and effective communication. I will be giving great care and detail to the staffing process to ensure only the best educators are available for our kids.

I can be reached at 301-353-8500. In addition, I am available through email at Gregory_S_Edmundson@mcpsmd.org.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to meeting all of you soon.

Education & Work History

Hello fellow bullfrogs. I am delighted to be writing to you as your new assistant principal. I want to learn all about you so I thought I’d take some time to let you know a little about me. I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and moved to Montgomery County, Maryland when I was 3 years old. I grew up in Olney and graduated from Sherwood High School. I began my teaching career 27 years ago after graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park with a degree in Elementary and Special Education. I earned my Masters degree in Administration from Bowie State University. I was a classroom and special education teacher at both Poolesville and Monocacy Elementary Schools before moving to Sherwood Elementary to become the staff development teacher. For the past three years, I have been working in the Office of Organizational Development as a staff development specialist. While I truly enjoyed my role as a specialist, I missed being in school and being able to work closely with students, parents, and teachers. So here I am, a very proud and excited bullfrog!

Family is very important to me so, when I’m not in school, you will find me enjoying the company of my husband and three children. My oldest daughter, Katie, will be a first-year teacher at Brown Station Elementary. My other daughter, Kristin, is starting her junior year at Virginia Tech. She is the feature twirler for the university’s band. Go Hokies! Bobby, my youngest, will enter Towson University as a freshman this fall; go Tigers! Being with my family is my hobby, so you will hear me talk a lot about them however, I am also an avid baseball fan and enjoy spending time anywhere near a baseball game or the water. Please stop by my office this summer and introduce yourself so I can get to know you! You can also contact me through email at Donna_M_Sagona@mcpsmd.org. I look forward to working closely with my new Great Seneca Creek family to create an incredible learning environment for everyone!
