JV Football at home this week!
Parents and guardians:
Gordon Central High School's Digital Learning Day is Friday, September 16. While students will not be in the building on that day, they will have access to their schoolwork online to catch up on assignments, remediate as needed, and be provided extension or enrichment through online activities.
Teachers and staff will be in the building prepared to virtually help students as needed. No student's grade will be negatively impacted by the activities assigned for Friday, but we expect all students to participate in the Digital Learning Day to improve their grades and standards mastery as we approach the end of the semester.
We would like to thank our community for its continued support and efforts in developing a culture of learning and success at Gordon Central High School.
Fair Performances!

On behalf of the faculty and staff at Gordon Central High School, I would like to share our respect and appreciation toward all service members, first responders, and veterans for their continued dedication to serving our country, protecting our citizens, and defending our rights and liberties.
We are blessed to be in a supportive community of people looking to provide and care for one another. September 11th was a tragic moment in our nation's history, and its lasting impression will always be a reminder of how we united and stood together to face adversity together. Please take a moment to think about our real-life heroes who continue to fight every day for our safety, health, and freedom.
Mr. Brian Hall
Principal
Gordon Central High School
