Gordon County Schools is proud to announce its 2025 Pathway Graduation Rates published today by the Georgia Department of Education. The Class of 2025 had graduation rates in the following categories: 100% in Advanced Academics, 100% in World Language, 97.09% in Fine Arts, and 97.83% in CTAE.
Our school system prepares Gordon County high school students with life after graduation through career planning and pathway courses. Families work with our high schools during registration to help map out a minimum of three related Georgia Career Clusters to help identify potential career paths and navigate to greater success in the real world.
The purpose of graduating with a completed career pathway is to show students the importance of what they are learning in the classroom, whether they want to attend a two-year college, a four-year university, serve in our military, or go straight into the workforce. By taking courses in advanced academics, world languages, fine arts, or Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE), our students are better prepared and ready for life after high school.
Gordon County Schools is very proud of its 2025 senior class, and we look forward to seeing this continued success with our upcoming graduates.

GCS Director of Technology Chuck Langston recently presented at the Tennessee Educational Technology Conference (TETC 2025), where educators from across the country learned how iPads are used in our classrooms to support student learning!
During his session, Mr. Langston explained how iPads help simplify everyday classroom tasks for teachers (classroom workflows) and give students more ways to learn and show what they know through writing, drawing, recording audio, creating videos, and working together digitally (multimodal learning). This approach helps meet students where they are and keeps learning engaging and accessible for all.
Mr. Langston has presented at many conferences and webinars over the years, and his leadership in educational technology continues to make a positive impact on our students and schools!
