WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
All parents, families, school staff, students, and community members:
We need your input to plan for the 2025-2026 school year! This is an opportunity for you to provide input and suggestions to build new ideas and create positive change in our school.
We will review and revise the following:
School-Parent Compact, School Improvement Plan, District Parent & Family Engagement Policy, and Consolidated LEA Improvement Plan (CLIP). Come share ideas about how the 1% set aside for Parent & Family Engagement can be best used.

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.
