The football game against Southeast Whitfield has been postponed. The new kickoff time will be noon tomorrow- August 17.
Mrs. Albright’s Level 1 Teaching as a Profession class completed an activity called How Well Can You Teach. Students were partnered up back to back and had to teach their partner to write or draw the same thing as they were. Students realized the importance of giving clear instructions and listening closely. At the end they enjoyed comparing their papers to see how similar (or different) theirs was compared to their partner.

Good afternoon, Warrior Families!
As we gear up for our return to school on Tuesday, please take a moment to review the new traffic flow patterns for morning arrival and afternoon departure during the 24-25 school year. Check out the attached graphics for detailed routes and instructions to ensure a safe and smooth process for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation!
🚍 Morning Arrival at Gordon Central High School 🚗
To ensure a smooth and safe arrival for everyone, please take note of the following procedures:
Buses will use the middle lanes for student drop-off.
Faculty members will be on duty to assist with stopping traffic at the crosswalk.
Car riders should use the lane closest to the building for drop-off. Please PULL ALL THE WAY FORWARD to maximize lane usage, especially as traffic increases.
All students must enter through the main office area. Please note that the gym and ramp tower entrances will not be open in the morning.
🚌 Afternoon Dismissal at Gordon Central High School 🚗
Please review the following procedures for a safe and efficient afternoon dismissal:
Buses will be staged in the three main lanes in front of the school as shown in the graphic:
Tolbert buses will be closest to the building.
Swain buses will be in the middle lanes.
Belwood/Red Bud buses will be in the lane farthest away from the building.
Car rider traffic will enter the new gym parking lot area by turning in at the 4-way stop and line up as indicated in the graphic.
Cars will be stopped at the curb before moving into the traffic lanes in front of the school. Cars that arrive early should NOT park in front of the main entrance of the school. A faculty member will hold car rider traffic in front of the gym until bus traffic has cleared. NOTE THAT ALL CAR RIDER TRAFFIC WILL BE HELD UNTIL BUSES ARE LOADED AND HAVE LEFT THE CAMPUS.
Once bus traffic has cleared (approximately 3:30 pm), car rider traffic will then be released to exit via the lane closest to the school, following the green arrow pattern.
Please be aware that this pattern is subject to change as we assess traffic flow with the ongoing renovation. We appreciate your flexibility and awareness in the interest of safety.
