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.

State School Superintendent Richard Woods visited Red Bud Middle School today to recognize two schools for outstanding academic achievement. During his visit, Superintendent Woods presented Tolbert Elementary School with a Literacy Leader banner and pinned updated recognition on Red Bud Middle School’s Math Leader banner.

Tolbert Elementary was named a Literacy Leader for exceptional growth in 3rd Grade Gateway Reading. Principal Dr. Rebecca Owen accepted the banner along with members of her third grade teacher team in recognition of their work supporting student literacy and reading growth.

Red Bud Middle School was recognized as a Math Leader in High School Outstanding Achievement for the performance of its 8th grade students on the 9th Grade Algebra End-of-Course Georgia Milestones exam. Principal Chad Moore accepted the new banner pins along with Assistant Principal Becky Hulsey, Instructional Lead Teacher Jackie Cascio, and 8th grade honors math teacher Sandra Cash.

Gordon County Schools Board of Education Chairperson Charlie Walraven and Post 7 member Eddie Hall were also present to celebrate this recognition alongside Superintendent Alice Mashburn.

The Literacy Leader and Math Leader honors recognize schools that demonstrate extraordinary student progress and proficiency. Schools are selected based on achievement, growth, or both, using annual end of grade and end of course assessments. These recognitions highlight the importance of strong literacy and numeracy skills as the foundation for lifelong learning and success.

Congratulations to Tolbert Elementary and Red Bud Middle School for their continued commitment to academic excellence and student growth.

Congratulations to Red Bud Middle School 8th grade Georgia Studies teacher Ian Robbins for being named the Xavier Chapter recipient of the Outstanding Teacher of American History Award by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

Mr. Robbins was recognized for his dedication to teaching American history and for making the subject engaging, meaningful, and relevant for his students. His commitment to historical accuracy, thoughtful instruction, and enthusiasm for the founding era reflects the values promoted by the DAR through its mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

On February 14, Mr. Robbins presented a program to the Xavier Chapter about the early history of Georgia. His presentation highlighted the founding of the colony, the vision of James Oglethorpe, and the unique social and economic framework that shaped Georgia’s beginnings. He also shared insights about Georgia’s role as the thirteenth colony and its strategic importance in early American development.

We are proud of Mr. Robbins and grateful for the passion he brings to teaching history and inspiring students each day.

Red Bud Middle School art teacher Kimberly Fields had her students wrapping up a project focused on making their artwork pop in a 3-D way through layering. Students then began a new creative assignment where they are designing artwork to tell the story behind why the subject in Edvard Munch’s "The Scream" might be screaming.

The classroom was full of creativity and energy as students explored perspective, emotion, and storytelling through art.

RBMS is proud to recognize our 2025–2026 Young Georgia Authors (YGA) Writing Competition System-Level winners — for 6th grade Noraleigh Broadnax (left) and for 8th grade Kynslee Silvers (right)!

The YGA competition is one of Georgia’s most prestigious opportunities for young writers. For more than two decades, it has encouraged students across the state to develop enthusiasm for writing, strengthen their craft and celebrate their accomplishments in the arts and academics.

Noraleigh and Kynslee truly represent what it means to be a "rare breed" at RBMS — standing out through hard work, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. Their writing showcases the courage, voice, and originality that sets them apart. Their entries will move on to compete at the Northwest GA RESA level competition in March.

Congratulations to these outstanding writers!
