Cooper Ingram (top of image) is an exceptional young man who consistently demonstrates compassion and a willingness to help others. He is always ready to lend a hand, often stepping in without being asked simply because he recognizes a need. Cooper never seeks recognition or the spotlight. Instead, he acts out of genuine care and integrity, making his classroom and school a better place each and every day. His character shines through his everyday actions, reflecting who he truly is at heart.
Addy Temple (bottom of image) has shown remarkable leadership through her daily responsibility of raising and lowering the U.S. and Georgia state flags at Ashworth Middle School. With quiet pride and dedication, she ensures that the flags are displayed respectfully, demonstrating discipline, honor, and teamwork. Whether she is organizing the flag area, mentoring younger students, or stepping up to help whenever needed, Addy leads through service and sets a powerful example for her peers. She reminds us that leadership often begins with small acts carried out with excellence and heart.
We are incredibly proud of Cooper and Addy for representing the spirit of Red Bud Middle School and Ashworth Middle School with such integrity and character. Congratulations to these outstanding students.

It's Week 3 of our Parent and Family Engagement Month Contest! Post your activities here for November 17th through November 20th on the calendar. Prizes will be distributed Friday, November 21st!
Gordon County Schools is celebrating Parent and Family Engagement Month this November with a fun district-wide contest designed to strengthen the connection between home and school. Elementary and middle school families can complete activities from the Family Engagement Calendars (also available on the district website) and post photos of their family participating. Each post counts as one entry into a random drawing, and multiple posts are encouraged.
Share on Social Media: Look for our weekly Facebook post, where you can comment with your child’s name, school, and a picture or video of your family completing an activity together. Alternatively, you may message this Facebook page with the information and picture. Please note that we may use the images for promotional materials (but not the other information shared).
The contest runs from November 2 through November 20, with winners announced on November 21. Prizes will be sent home with students before Thanksgiving break.
Our elementary and middle schools will award a Family Connection Prize Pack that includes a family pass for four to the Savoy Automobile Museum, a gift card to a local restaurant, and a Connect 4 game with snacks for a fun family game night at home.
Gift cards have been generously donated by our local partners and community supporters, such as Big John’s Restaurant, Cassie’s On Main, Chick-fil-A, Yellow Jacket Drive-In, Christian & Jake’s, Food Lion, Food City, Walmart, and more!
Join Gordon County Schools in celebrating family engagement. Complete the activities, share your photos, and show how your family connects at home and in the community. Be Extraordinary! #ExtraordinaryGCS

Healthcare pathway students had the opportunity to meet and speak with real heroes who risk their lives every day to save others. This experience offered valuable insight and inspiration for students who may one day pursue careers in healthcare and emergency response.
We are grateful for this extraordinary partnership and the chance to provide our students with such a meaningful and memorable experience.
