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.

Calhoun, GA – September 25, 2024 – Presently, Georgia is under a State of Emergency. Due to the anticipated impact of Hurricane Helene and the potential for hazardous conditions, Gordon County Schools will be closed for all students and staff on Thursday, September 26, 2024 and Friday, September 27, 2024. All Thursday school activities are canceled. The safety of our students, staff, and community remains our top priority.
Gordon County Schools is working closely with local emergency management agencies and Calhoun City Schools to monitor the storm's path and coordinate response efforts. At this time, we believe that Friday evening and Saturday events will continue as planned; however, we will provide updates if needed. We will continue to assess conditions to ensure the safety of all.
We encourage our families and community members to stay safe and follow any advisories from local authorities.
