Chief Technology Officer recognized for statewide service as a county school board member

TROY’s chief technology officer Dr. Greg Price has been named to the Alabama Association of School Boards’ 2024 All-State School Board Award.

The award was presented at the association’s annual convention in December. Joining Price with the award were local school board members Kevin Corcoran (Gulf Shores), Gwen Harris-Brooks (Lanett City), Ronnie Owens (Lauderdale County), and Dr. Celia Rudolph (Muscle Shoals City).

AASB began its annual All-State School Board Member recognition program in 1992 to

recognize up to five of Alabama’s most outstanding past or present school board members. The award is the highest honor the association bestows to recognize exemplary boardmanship. The 2024 recipients were celebrated during a Dec. 6 awards luncheon. Alabama’s 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year Deborah Stringfellow served as the featured speaker.

“This year’s honorees exemplify transformative school board leadership,” said AASB Executive Director Sally Smith. “Their strategic vision and collaborative approach to governance have strengthened their school systems and continues to inspire education leaders across Alabama.”

Price is a 22-year veteran of the Pike County Board of Education, has achieved master status in AASB’s School Board Member Academy with more than 530 training hours. He has served as AASB’s district 3 director and volunteered on multiple committees, including the budget and finance, board training advisory, equity, resolutions and bylaws committees. In addition, he has strengthened AASB through is guidance and training sessions on emerging technology issues and has developed and implemented various cybersecurity initiations designed to safeguard educational institutions and protect students from online threats.
