Calhoun, GA – September 25, 2024 – Presently, Georgia is under a State of Emergency. Due to the anticipated impact of Hurricane Helene and the potential for hazardous conditions, Gordon County Schools will be closed for all students and staff on Thursday, September 26, 2024 and Friday, September 27, 2024. All Thursday school activities are canceled. The safety of our students, staff, and community remains our top priority.
Gordon County Schools is working closely with local emergency management agencies and Calhoun City Schools to monitor the storm's path and coordinate response efforts. At this time, we believe that Friday evening and Saturday events will continue as planned; however, we will provide updates if needed. We will continue to assess conditions to ensure the safety of all.
We encourage our families and community members to stay safe and follow any advisories from local authorities.

Our core value this month is Compassion. Did you know that the heart is a universal symbol for compassion? The heart icon represents the human heart and emotions and can be traced back to the Ice Age, though the meaning wasn’t universal until the Middle Ages. Heart icons appear in cultures from Egyptian, Ancient Greek, and Roman to modern European and American. In 2019, a group of Florida kindergarteners petitioned Congress to name an icon of a heart surrounded by a circle of arrows as the national symbol for kindness. The heart represents compassion- caring enough to do something about someone else’s needs.
