Red Bud Middle School students in Mrs. Carrie Greeson-Parish’s Computer Science, STEAM, and Robotics classes were hard at work preparing for the annual Gordon County Schools Technology Competition.
Students analyzed their robot builds, tested ideas, and worked together on programming as they continued refining their designs. The combination of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork made for an engaging learning experience and looked like a lot of fun for everyone involved.
We are excited to see what these students create and how they perform at this year’s competition!

October is National Principals Month, and Gordon County Schools is proud to recognize the dedicated leaders who serve our schools each day.
Chad Moore is in his 22nd year as an educator and his 4th year as principal of Red Bud Middle School. He has spent 14 years serving as a principal overall, including his previous tenure as principal of Belwood Elementary School.
For Mr. Moore, one of the best parts of being a principal is simply being around students and staff each day. He values the opportunity to encourage others, help solve problems, and support students and staff as they continue to grow. He loves his school and often describes serving as principal at RBMS as a “get to” job rather than a “got to” job.
Mr. Moore believes one of Red Bud Middle’s greatest strengths is its sense of family. Students, families, teachers, and support staff are closely connected, and the school places a strong emphasis on making sure everyone feels known, supported, and valued. Building meaningful relationships is an important part of the school culture, both between staff and students and among staff members themselves.
He is especially proud of the pride Red Bud students have in their school and the growth they continue to make academically and personally. He is equally proud of the staff members who invest so much time and effort in their students and continue looking for new ways to strengthen instruction and relationships.
A major focus for Mr. Moore is making sure every student feels loved and valued at school. Red Bud Middle is also working toward growth for every student, whether academically, behaviorally, or through improved attendance, while making sure each student has at least one trusted adult in the building who knows and supports them.
Outside of school, Mr. Moore enjoys spending time with his wife, Ashley, and their four children, Connor, Camden, Harper, and Hensley. Their family enjoys traveling together, especially trips to the beach and Disney. He also enjoys cooking, trying new recipes, and relaxing with episodes of The Office.

Edgar Allan Poe came to life at RBMS today!
Our 8th grade students had a special visit from Edgar Allan Poe, portrayed by Terry Allee, who brought Poe’s legendary stories to life right before their eyes!
The thrills, chills, suspense, and mystery of Poe’s writing jumped from the page to the stage, giving students an unforgettable way to wrap up and reinforce their author study. What a fantastic opportunity to experience literature beyond the classroom!
A huge thank you to Terry Allee for making Edgar Allan Poe—and his haunting tales—come alive for our students!

Red Bud Middle School students in Kimberly Fields’ art class were experimenting with painting techniques as they prepared for an upcoming mixed media project.
Students practiced using black paint and began exploring how it can be combined with colored pencil or marker to create contrast, texture, and visual interest. This activity gave students a chance to build confidence with new materials while thinking creatively about how different media can work together.
We are excited to see how their final projects come together!

Red Bud Middle School 8th grade students in Cassie Bartley’s math class were strengthening their understanding of functions through the Function of the Day.
Students worked on graphing the function, solving problems, and discussing key features and observations along the way. This activity helped students think critically about patterns, relationships, and how functions can be represented and analyzed.
