Gordon Central High School agriculture students in Mrs. Wheat’s class took their learning into the greenhouse today as they worked on seeding plants.

Students were willing to get their hands dirty as they practiced important skills connected to plant growth, agriculture, and greenhouse management. This hands on experience gave them the opportunity to apply what they are learning in class while building confidence through real world work.

These Warriors definitely have a green thumb!

W.L. Swain Elementary kindergarten students had a special visit to Gordon Central High School today, where they worked alongside high school students in Mrs. Albright’s Teaching as a Profession classes.

Our future Warriors visited several classrooms, including those of Ms. Mills, Mrs. Hice, and Mrs. Lee, and participated in fun, hands on activities throughout the day. Pictured here, students were having a great time learning in Mrs. Lee’s Healthcare class.

We always love seeing our older students connect with younger learners and share their knowledge, encouragement, and school spirit. Experiences like this bring our schools together as one community and give students of all ages opportunities to learn from one another.

Wireless Wednesday in Action! 🔗📚

Mr. Garrett’s and Mrs. Freeman’s U.S. History students put their critical thinking skills to work during a hands-on hexagonal thinking activity for #WirelessWednesday! By connecting key terms and concepts, students created an interactive web of ideas that helped them examine the many causes and relationships that led to the Civil War.

Great collaboration, thoughtful discussions, and deeper learning made for an engaging history lesson. We love seeing our students make meaningful connections and bring history to life!

📚✨ Learning Beyond the Classroom! ✨📚

Mrs. Albright’s Teaching as a Profession Level 2 & 3 students enjoyed an exciting field trip to Berry College! The students toured the beautiful campus and visited the Child Development Center, where they had the opportunity to interact with children in the 3- and 4-year-old classrooms.

Several of the students even had the chance to lead small groups and put their teaching skills into action! 🧑‍🏫❤️

They had such a fun and meaningful day of learning, exploring, and gaining hands-on experience. And, of course, they wrapped up the trip with a delicious lunch at the food hall! 🍽️

What a wonderful day at Berry College! 🎓🌟

Today, our seniors had a valuable opportunity to learn about civic engagement and the voting process!

A special thank you to Mrs. Shea Hicks, Chairperson of the Gordon County Board of Elections, for visiting with our students to discuss voter registration, elections, and the importance of making your voice heard. Students even had the chance to cast sample ballots using an official voting machine, giving them a firsthand look at the voting experience.

As many of our seniors prepare to become first-time voters, we encourage everyone to make sure they're registered and election-ready through Georgia's My Voter Page: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/
