Dr. Angela Gucwa (1994-1998)


Angela was born in Atlanta and was an athlete from her early years, playing tennis, basketball, volleyball, and softball on Cobb County youth teams. In her freshman year at WHS, she was named to the Wheeler varsity basketball team, and that was only the beginning of her high school activities. She went on to

letter in four sports while at Wheeler: basketball, tennis, volleyball, and track & field. As a sophomore and senior, she was awarded the prestigious Wheeler Wildcat 3-V Award for lettering in three varsity sports. After a knee injury during her junior year, she was named the GACA first team All-State Volleyball team and later All-County honors in basketball during her senior year.

Her most memorable athletic performance was during the State AAAA Girls Basketball Championship game in Macon, when she scored 22 points and was a perfect 8-for-8 shooting from the field, including an amazing 6-for-6 from the 3-point range. She saved her best game for the last and helped bring the State Championship to Wheeler.

During her years at Wheeler, she excelled in academics as well as athletics, receiving several best student athletic awards. In 1998 she graduated with a 4.47 GPA, the highest GPA of any student athlete in Cobb County. She was recognized as the Female Scholar Athlete of the Year by the Marietta Daily Journal.

Angela went the University of Georgia and then to the Medical College of Georgia, where she became a medical doctor; she then moved to Greenville, SC to specialize in vascular surgery. She now lives in Annapolis, MD, and she is Chief of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Luminis Health: Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, MD.
