Dear Swain community,
I wanted to let you know this year marks the end of my 30 years in education. After much thought, I have made the decision to retire in May. It has been a true honor to serve as principal at W.L. Swain Elementary School. I will greatly miss all my students, faculty, staff, parents, and community. I will always treasure my time spent educating the students in Gordon County Schools.
Love,
Dr. Elizabeth Anderson
Thank you to our local police departments, school resource officers, & school safety staff who help keep our schools safe!

-Gordon County Schools will continue practicing mitigation measures including encouraging distancing when possible, practicing enhanced cleaning procedures of all rooms and buildings, limiting visitors, encouraging hand-washing, and making hand sanitizer available.
-A detailed outline of the Gordon County Schools phases of mitigation can be found at https://www.gcbe.org/covidprotocols.
