Red Bud Middle School

On Friday, January 30, 2025, twenty-six RBMS students represented Gordon County Schools at the NW GA Technology Competition held at Georgia Highlands College. Six of these students won 1st place and have advanced to state to the GASTC competition which will be held in March. Congratulations to the following students: Conner Gazerro and Rayce Johnston (Internet/Web Applications), Rebecca Nuam and Rosslyn Rodriguez (Video Production), and Elijah Dacus and Dalton Evans (Internet/Web Applications).

We are proud to recognize Red Bud Middle School eighth grade social studies teacher Tara Berry on her acceptance into the National Medal of Honor Heritage Center Teacher Fellowship, a paid, year-long program for educators in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi!

This prestigious program supports teachers in integrating the stories of Medal of Honor recipients and the character values of courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism into classroom instruction through place-based learning and curriculum-aligned resources.

Mrs. Berry was inspired to apply after learning more about the fellowship at the 2025 Georgia Council for the Social Studies Conference, where she also presented with colleagues on their professional learning experience in Germany. She believes deeply in the power of location-based learning and professional collaboration to bring history to life for students.

Through this fellowship, Mrs. Berry will collaborate with fellow educators across the Southeast to design meaningful, standards-aligned lessons that connect real people and real stories to both historical understanding and character development. This opportunity represents professional growth as well as a meaningful way to honor the legacies of extraordinary individuals by sharing their stories with the next generation.
