Gordon County Schools proudly recognizes and celebrates the achievements of its four extraordinary 2024-2025 Georgia REACH Scholars: Jasmine Castillo, Sarai Moran Anguiano, Naythan Alvarez, and Wildon Garcia-Corado. These remarkable students were honored today for their commitment to academic excellence and their determination to build a brighter future.
The REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) Georgia Scholarship Program is a needs-based mentorship and scholarship initiative designed to ensure that academically promising students have the support they need to succeed in college and beyond. By becoming REACH Scholars, students pledge to uphold high academic standards, maintain excellent behavior, and work closely with mentors and graduation coaches as they prepare for post-secondary education. Upon completing the program, each scholar receives a scholarship to help make their college dreams a reality.
The ceremony also recognized the vital role families, educators, and mentors play in shaping the future of these young leaders. Graduation coaches Jamey Angland from Gordon Central High School and Judy Craig from Sonoraville High School will work closely with the scholars, guiding them through this transformative journey throughout high school.
Congratulations to Jasmine, Sarai, Naythan, and Wildon on this incredible achievement. We are confident that their dedication, supported by the REACH program and our community, will lead them to a future filled with limitless possibilities.
This Friday, December 6th, RBMS will be having our school's Technology Competition. Parents/Guardians of competitors are welcome to come at the appropriate time for their student. The event will be held in the RBMS library.,

Congratulations to Ashworth Middle School, Red Bud Middle School, and Gordon Central High School for their exceptional achievements in mathematics, earning them the designation of Math Leader schools for the 2023-2024 school year. Each school’s recognition reflects its commitment to student growth, achievement, and preparation for future success under the new K-12 Mathematics Standards.
Ashworth Middle School has been named a High School Outstanding Achievement Math Leader for demonstrating excellence in mathematics for 8th grade students taking high school Algebra 1. This recognition reflects the school's high percentage of students performing at the Proficient Learner level or above, underscoring Ashworth’s commitment to numeracy and academic achievement.
Red Bud Middle School has received dual honors as both an 8th Grade Gateway Growth and High School Outstanding Achievement Math Leader for 8th grade students taking high school Algebra 1. This distinction highlights Red Bud’s exceptional growth in eighth-grade mathematics, a pivotal milestone for students, alongside its high levels of student achievement. The school’s commitment to advancing students’ math skills in these critical grades exemplifies the dedication of its teachers and students.
Gordon Central High School has been recognized as a Growth Leader for its noteworthy improvement in mathematics achievement among high school students, as measured by the Algebra: Concepts and Connections End-of-Course (EOC) assessment. This growth distinction celebrates the school’s focus on ensuring all students progress in their numeracy skills, regardless of their starting points.
The Math Leader Awards criteria for 2023-2024 acknowledge schools that have increased the percentage of students scoring at the Proficient Learner level or above. The awards emphasize the significance of numeracy in fifth and eighth grades and require greater growth from schools with lower initial achievement levels. The awards were given at elementary and middle school levels, with high school awards based on the Algebra EOC state test.
State School Superintendent Richard Woods extended his congratulations to these pioneering Math Leader schools, commending their collective efforts. “The skill of numeracy is an essential one, both as students progress through their K-12 education and in their futures. These schools and their educators, students, families, and communities have worked hard to implement the new K-12 Mathematics Standards and prepare all students for life. I commend them on their outstanding work.”
This recognition celebrates the schools’ focus on enhancing students' numeracy skills and ensuring academic success across all levels. Congratulations to Ashworth Middle School, Red Bud Middle School, and Gordon Central High School.
