My name is Stacey Gracia, and I am honored to serve on the administrative team as the Assistant Principal supporting all stakeholders in grades third through fifth. I align myself with Jolly’s commitment to educational excellence by creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive.
Beyond my professional role, I am a wife, and mother to four sons, a daughter-in-law and my precious grandson. I enjoy spending my free time going to the movies and relaxing at the beach. Family is a cornerstone of my life, and I cherish the moments I spend with my family.
I look forward to partnering with students, parents, staff, and all members of our local school community where we work together to ensure all students succeed and grow academically by providing our students with the tools and confidence to reach their full potential.
Jolly where we Dream More, Learn More, Become More!!

I am the mother of two adult children, my daughter graduated from Tucker HS in their IB Program. My son attended Cedar Grove MS before we moved to Gwinnett and is currently enrolled at GaTech. I am from Casa Grande, AZ. I moved to GA from south Florida in 2006, which is when I became employed by DeKalb County Schools. I have always been passionate about the education of our youth. I truly see them as our future, and I want to ensure that they are prepared to be productive and responsible citizens.
I began my career in education in 2006 as an Administrative Assistant at Cedar Grove Middle. In 2008, I was promoted to Registrar. During this time, I returned to graduate school to obtain my master's degree in special education from Grand Canyon University. During this time, I began teaching Self-Contained ID at Cedar Grove MS from 2009-2014. In 2014 I was promoted to LTSE, and in 2019 I received a promotion to Special Education Coordinator II. I worked in this position for five years, being promoted to Assistant Principal at Jolly ES. Full circle to where I wanted to be when I entered the profession.
