Sonoraville High School construction students work hard in Mr. Dooley’s classroom!
Students were sanding and painting classroom tables to make improvements while also preparing for their upcoming mock SkillsUSA competition. These activities give students the chance to practice craftsmanship, problem-solving, attention to detail, and the hands on skills needed to succeed in the construction pathway.
Mr. Dooley is well known throughout Gordon County Schools for teaching and coaching numerous SkillsUSA state champions, and that tradition of excellence continues to set a strong standard for his students. We are excited to see how these Phoenix students continue to grow, compete, and succeed this year!

Sonoraville Elementary kindergarten students in Mrs. Jamie Mullinax’s class were building important vocabulary and reading skills.
Students worked on using pictures as context clues to help understand unknown words. By looking closely at the illustrations and thinking about what was happening in the text, students practiced strategies that will help them make meaning as they read.
These early literacy skills help students grow in confidence as they learn new vocabulary and become stronger readers.

Gordon Central High School students in Mrs. Rainwater’s journalism class are learning how to tell stories with purpose and professionalism.
Students began class with a warmup focused on creating strong titles for news stories before moving into a discussion about interviewing. They worked on drafting interview questions and learning how to properly prepare for and conduct an interview.
These skills help students think like journalists as they learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and share meaningful stories with others.
