There will be collection sites located on each hallway by homerooms. This year the competition will be based on grade levels and the grade level with the most cans on Friday, Nov. 8th will be awarded ice cream. When you are out shopping this weekend, make time to pick up some canned goods for the drive.
The Spanish department held a door decorating contest for Hispanic Heritage month. They would like to thank all the classes that participated in the contest. Congratulations to Mrs. Payne's class on the winning door decoration! Their door was designed as the book, Silver Nitrate, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. The book cover was on top and the inside talks about the author. #TOGETHERGCHS
Strategic Planning Survey Link: https://forms.office.com/r/MpdZUzans2
Gordon County Schools invites you to participate in our school district Strategic Planning Survey, and we greatly appreciate your feedback as we work to shape the future of our schools. Your input plays a crucial role in helping us create positive outcomes for our students and community.
The Strategic Planning Survey is a key part of our process to develop a comprehensive roadmap for guiding Gordon County Schools from 2026 to 2030. This survey allows us to hear directly from community members, parents, staff, and students about their perspectives, priorities, and hopes for our school system. By gathering this feedback, we aim to understand the community’s vision for our schools and identify areas for growth and improvement.
The insights from the survey will directly influence the new strategic plan, which will set goals and outline initiatives that promote academic excellence, enhance student well-being, support staff development, and strengthen community partnerships. Ultimately, this survey empowers the community to play an active role in shaping the future of Gordon County Schools, ensuring that we continue providing the best possible educational experiences for all our students.
You can complete the survey by visiting this link: https://forms.office.com/r/MpdZUzans2

Thank you to the SOS leadership team at Gordon Central!
