Johnnie Foreman

Director of Community and Diversity Johnnie Foreman is one of Gilman’s most beloved and outstanding faculty members. Hired by former Headmaster Redmond C.S. Finney, Foreman joined the Gilman faculty in 1984, to teach Middle School science and later Upper School English. His commitment to diversity education makes Gilman a strong community, and he has transformed Gilman and countless other schools into a welcoming and safe environments inclusive of everyone. His influence spurned innumerable football and track athletes to compete at their best, and because of his efforts, indoor track is an MIAA sport, and our track team holds appreciable championships. Most importantly, he has mentored and advised generations of Gilman men, and he is the type of educator young teachers should aspire to become.
