Gordon Central High School is dedicated to educating the whole child, and we are excited about the 7 Mindsets social-emotional learning curriculum we have implemented for the 2021-22 school year. Students meet in advisement groups each Monday and participate in structured activities focusing on things such as positive relationships, gratitude, and making a difference in their community. The focus for March 8; April 11, 18, 25 and May 2 is The Time Is Now. By clicking on the link below, parents/guardians can access a newsletter filled with information and activities which families can use at home to further support their student.

It's that time of year again - FFA is hosting our 2nd Annual Egg My Yard fundraiser this Easter!
Here's how it works: You order an "egging" from FFA. We visit on the night of Saturday, April 16th to hide your Easter eggs. Wake up on Easter morning to 24 (or more) hidden candy (no chocolate - we all know how unpredictable Easter weather is in Georgia!) and prize filled Easter Eggs in a designated location around your house. This is perfect if you have young children, grandchildren, or neighbors. You can even gift an "egging" (as long as you provide us the contact info for the house you wish for us to "egg") to a neighbor or friend as long as they reside within the Calhoun City Limits.
Cost: $20 per 24 eggs, $40 for 48 eggs, $60 for 72 eggs.
When: We will "egg" the yard Saturday, April 16th after 8:30 p.m.
Payment: Once you order is received, you'll get an invoice and instructions for paying online. Orders & payment due by April 1, 2022.

Gordon Central High School is proud to announce Mr. Billy Shackelford as its new Athletic Director for the 2022-2023 school year. Mr. Shackelford comes to GCHS with over 29 years of coaching and teaching experience at both the high school and college levels. He spent the last 15 years as the head football coach of Sprayberry High and East Paulding High School. Mr. Shackelford has coached tennis, lacrosse, baseball, track, and wrestling as a head or assistant varsity coach. He also served as interim athletic director during his time at Sprayberry.
Mr. Shackelford presented as a national speaker for both the Nike and Frank Glazier coaching clinics about topics related to offensive football schemes, organizing practices, fundraising, and developing a successful athletic school culture.
