We’re proud to recognize the following Gordon Central seniors who graduated from the 2025–2026 Calhoun–Gordon County Youth Leadership Program:
(L to R) Eva Hawkins, Estrella Martinez-Gonzalez, Riley McEntire, Lily Perez, Anna Caroline Parker, Belle Watkins, Keira Bryson, Cameron Cochran, Randy Vicente, William Parish, and Seth Kolterman.
These eleven outstanding students were selected at the beginning of the school year to participate in this prestigious program sponsored by our local Chamber of Commerce. Throughout the year, they joined students from all four area high schools to meet state and local leaders, tour local businesses, and learn firsthand from those who serve our community.
⭐ Special congratulations to Anna Caroline Parker, who was awarded one of two $1,500 Youth Leadership Program scholarships!
Well done to all—your leadership and dedication make us proud! 👏
DATE CHANGE: The Warrior car show originally scheduled for this Saturday, April 25th, has been moved to Saturday, May 2nd.
Due to the forecasted rain and out of concern for the safety and enjoyment of all participants and attendees, we felt it was best to reschedule the event.
All event details will remain the same—only the date is changing. We’re hoping for better weather on May 2nd and an even better turnout!
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to nreece@gcbe.org.
We look forward to seeing you and your cars on Saturday, May 2nd!

During the event, parents and students attended a variety of breakout sessions. Information was provided for GVRA Post Secondary Counseling, College Admissions, Trade Schools (GNTC), Warm Springs/Cave Spring Centers, Workplace Opportunities (Toyo Tires), and Extra Special People (ESP). Refreshments and breakfast were provided by GA CTI. A special thanks to student volunteers from both GCHS and SHS who supported students and parents in navigating to the breakout sessions, and to the collaborative efforts of Mrs. Jennifer White with GA CTI and Ms. Rena Roper with GVRA who provided this opportunity for Gordon County Schools students and families.
