Today is School Librarian Appreciation Day, and Gordon County Schools is proud to recognize our incredible media specialists who make a difference in the lives of students every day.
Our school librarians do so much more than manage books. They inspire a love of reading, support research and technology skills, and create welcoming spaces where students can explore, learn, and grow.
Thank you for everything you do!

The SHS Construction class recently visited Mrs. Stamey’s 5th grade science class at SES to teach students about electrical circuits. During the visit, they explained the different parts of a circuit, how to build one, and the function of each component. Students then participated in a hands-on activity where they created their own circuits and tested them. By completing a closed circuit, they were able to see electricity in action as their light bulbs lit up!
We are so proud of our students for sharing their knowledge, leading by example, and inspiring future learners!

I will miss seeing my school family on a day-to-day basis, but I also know that I am leaving our students and our school in the hands of an excellent group of educators. My family and I look forward to supporting the Warrior Nation for many years to come.”
Dr. Parker’s impact and leadership have made significant and lasting contributions to Gordon County Schools. Her commitment to students and staff has strengthened our schools and our community. We are grateful for her service and wish her the very best in her retirement.

Schools across Gordon County participated in professional learning today during Flex Learning Friday. These days provide valuable time for faculty and staff to collaborate, learn new strategies, and strengthen the work they do for students. There were exciting sessions going on at all of our schools, but here are a few highlights!
Elementary teachers continued their training in LETRS, which is a professional learning program focused on the science of reading that helps educators deepen their understanding of how students learn to read and how to provide effective literacy instruction.
Earlier this week, English Language Learner teachers participated in professional training with Edmentum focused on planning for Georgia Milestones remediation using Study Island and Exact Path to support student learning and academic growth.
Our Transportation Department bus drivers participated in CPR training led by Gordon County Schools nurses, ensuring they are prepared to respond quickly and safely in emergency situations.
We appreciate the dedication of our faculty and staff who continue to learn, collaborate, and grow as professionals in order to provide the best possible opportunities for our students.

Gordon County Schools is proud to recognize the incredible career and lasting impact of Red Bud Elementary School Principal Debra Brock as she announces her retirement at the end of this school year after many years of dedicated service to our district.
Mrs. Brock began her journey with Gordon County Schools in 2006 as a classroom teacher at Belwood Elementary. Over the years, she served as an instructional coach before becoming assistant principal at Red Bud Elementary in 2013. In 2016, she stepped into the role of principal, where she has faithfully led the Red Bud community for the past decade.
Throughout her career, Mrs. Brock has been known for her deep love for students, her unwavering support of staff, and her commitment to building strong relationships with families. Her leadership has helped make Red Bud Elementary the special place it is today.
Below is a message Mrs. Brock wrote for the Red Bud community:
In 2006, I joined the Gordon County Schools family as a classroom teacher at Belwood Elementary. Over the years I had the privilege of serving as an instructional coach, then as assistant principal at Red Bud Elementary in 2013. In 2016 I was honored to step into the role of principal.
For the past 10 years, serving as the principal of Red Bud Elementary has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. This school has truly been my mission field. The children, families, staff, and this community hold such a special place in my heart. Every day I have been surrounded by people who love children deeply and believe in the power of relationships.
One of the greatest joys has been being part of so many of your children’s lives over the years, watching them grow, learn, and become incredible young people. Seeing their smiles in the hallways, celebrating their successes, and walking alongside families through the years is something I will always treasure.
Red Bud is more than a school. It is a family. The love, support, and care that live within these walls are truly something special.
I will always consider it one of the greatest honors of my life that you trusted me with your children. Thank you for allowing me to be part of their story and part of this incredible community.
“Being a principal isn’t about leading a building — it’s about loving the people inside it.”
Red Bud will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Mrs. Brock’s legacy will live on through the countless students she has encouraged, the educators she has supported, and the strong, loving culture she helped build at Red Bud Elementary.
Please join us in thanking Mrs. Brock for her years of leadership and wishing her the very best in this next chapter! She is already working closely with Mrs. Becky Hulsey, who was recently announced as the next principal of Red Bud Elementary, to ensure a successful transition for the school and community.
