57 students recently represented Gordon County Schools in the Northwest Georgia Regional Technology Competition. They joined students from surrounding schools to share technology projects in many different categories. Gordon County sent students from eight schools, and all students were local technology competition winners in their project category and grade level.
This was the largest team that Gordon County has ever sent to the regional competition, and all students used their creative, collaborative, and critical thinking skills to develop unique and innovative projects that make our district proud.
Special thanks to the following Gordon County Schools staff who assisted with the local or regional technology competitions: Kalee Bennett, Jackie Brown, Rachel Carter, Brandi Evans, Taylor Fain, Adam Fite, Leigh-Ann Hunt, Chuck Langston, Danny Lowrance, Bryson McGuire, Chad Moore, Caroline Stephens, and Melissa Vincent.
Thirty-four RBMS students represented both Red Bud Middle School and Gordon County Schools at the NW Regional Technology Competition held at Georgia Highlands College in Rome on January 31. All the students did a terrific job in their specific categories. Five students placed 1st and will move on to the state competition later this year. Haidyn Jones will move on to state in animation. Slater Morss and Carson Grantham will move on in project programming, and Dalton Evans and Connor Broome will move on in mobile applications. Go, Phoenix!!!
Congratulations to the students listed on the flyer for being chosen by one of their teachers for a Reaching Beyond Award for the second 9-week grading period.
