Dr. Sharon L. Contreras is passionate about providing high-quality education to each child with the goal that every student graduates college and career ready. Sharon L. Contreras is a teacher at heart, a transformational leader and a passionate advocate for children and education. Growing up in Uniondale, New York with nine brothers and sisters, she learned early to advocate for her right to an excellent education. At the age of 10 she was told by her teacher she didn’t belong in the new gifted program that she knew included classmates she had tutored. After pleading her case independently, then alongside her parents, she gained a seat in the accelerated program which changed the trajectory of her life, while lighting a fire for achievement and advocacy of others.

Years later, not even the gradual loss of 95% of her hearing stopped her from breaking through barriers for herself and removing them for her students. Over the course of her 30-year education career, she has held two superintendencies – one urban and one in a county-wide district serving urban, suburban and rural students. As superintendent of Syracuse City School District, she became the first woman of color to lead one of New York’s “Big 5” urban school systems and is the first Latina to lead Guilford County Schools in North Carolina, one of the nation’s largest school districts, with 126 schools, 10,000 employees and 72,000 students.

A true warrior for equity, Contreras is celebrated for implementing policies aimed at closing achievement gaps and improving life outcomes for all students. Since taking the lead in Guilford County, she’s helped close the graduation rate gap and vastly expanded career technical education and Advanced Placement programs, as well as access to Dual enrollment programming to prepare students and their parents for the workforce. In 2021, the GCS graduation rate increased to 91.5%.

Contreras was named Superintendent of the Year by the North Carolina PTA (2019), a North Carolina Regional Superintendent of the Year (2020) by the Piedmont Triad Educational Consortium and a Top 5 Finalist for the Green Garner Urban Education Leadership Award by the Council of the Great City Schools (2020). She was among Triad Business Journal’s Most Admired CEOs in 2020 and is the 2022 AASA Women in School Leadership Award recipient.
