Congratulations to these SHS Band Members for making the GMEA District 7 Honor Band and qualifying for the 2nd Round Audition for Georgia All-State Band!
This morning, we celebrated students who were nominated to receive Sonoraville High School’s 212° the extra degree award. 🔥
At 211° water is hot. At 212°, it boils. And with boiling water,
comes steam...and with steam, you can power a train.
That one extra degree, that one small step, makes the difference.
We are so proud of these students for being recognized for their positive character traits and willingness to go the extra degree.

Fairmount Elementary Celebrates Apple Distinguished School Recognition
Fairmount Elementary School celebrated being recognized as an Apple Distinguished School today with an exciting pep rally in the gym! This honor is given to schools that show leadership, creativity, and excellence in education by using Apple technology in their classrooms.
The pep rally was a special event for the students and the community. It included performances by the Sonoraville High School cheerleaders and marching band. Phoenix athletes and video production students also joined the celebration, sharing the importance of this achievement and cheering on the Bulldogs. Sonoraville’s video production students played a key role in filming the submission video that helped Fairmount earn this recognition.
Being named an Apple Distinguished School shows that Fairmount Elementary has created an exciting and successful learning environment that helps students thrive and achieve.
Gordon County Schools would like to thank Dr. Patti Crane and Mike Kole from Apple for presenting the banner and plaque. We also want to recognize the hard work of the students and staff at Fairmount Elementary, as well as the leadership of Principal Rebecca Champion. Thank you to Instructional Technology Coordinator Whitney Prather for guiding the application process and sharing Fairmount’s story.
Congratulations to Fairmount Elementary on this amazing achievement! The whole community is proud of you and excited to see the continued impact of your innovative teaching.
As part of their study of the Executive Branch, Mrs. Crow’s American Government classes recently memorialized former presidents by creating tombstones as part of a multi-part project in which they researched their life and presidency. Students wrote obituaries, created a memorial slideshow, and a tombstone to recognize the impact each of these presidents had on the United States.
