Gordon County Schools is proud to announce an exceptional showing at the Georgia State Technology Competition, held on March 14 at the Henry County Academy of Advanced Studies in McDonough, Georgia. This year, we had a total of five student winners, the most our district has ever earned.
Zillionaire Li Ou, a sophomore at Gordon Central High School, won 1st place in the 9th–10th grade Animation category with an animated short film, under the guidance of his sponsoring teacher, Mrs. Heather Stodghill from the Gordon College and Career Academy.
Red Bud Middle School 8th grade students Elijah Dacus and Dalton Evans earned a 2nd place finish in Web and Mobile Apps for 7th–8th grades for the e-commerce website they built. Another team of Red Bud Middle School 8th grade students, Rebecca Nuam and Rosslyn Rodriguez, placed 3rd in 7th–8th grade Video Production, producing a video that showcased the Georgia Aquarium. Their sponsoring teacher is RBMS STEAM instructor Mrs. Carrie Greeson-Parish.
Overall, Gordon County Schools took 11 students who won first place at the Northwest Georgia Regional Technology Competition to the state event, another record for the district. We are extremely proud of all students who participated in the Georgia State Technology Competition and represented GCS so well.
Congratulations to this year’s state winners! We are proud of your achievement!
