GCS staff participated in this morning's inaugural session for the 2023-2024 academic year. Superintendent Dr. Minney delivered remarks that showcased his enthusiasm for the upcoming school year and illustrated the new county mission statement: Empower, Inspire, Engage. Principals Tyson Price and Brandon Payne introduced new staff members and shared their excitement for students to return to school next Thursday.
The highlight of the event was an inspiring presentation delivered by Rodney Robinson, the distinguished recipient of the 2019 National Teacher of the Year award. Mr. Robinson took the audience through an inspiring narrative, detailing the transformational odyssey of the Virgie Binford Education Center – a journey that elevated it from closure to attaining the esteemed status of the top educational institution in the entire state.
During his address, Mr. Robinson underscored the pivotal role of forging meaningful connections, embracing the principles of restorative justice, and diligently catering to the diverse needs of students. These pillars, he stressed, are instrumental in cultivating an environment that inherently fosters favorable educational outcomes and nurtures a culture of positive learning.
We would like to thank our generous donors and community partners who made the staff breakfast possible:
Collins Insurance
Mama's Brick Oven
Par Mar
McDonald's
Glenville Foodland
Our teachers and staff are inspired and motivated to have a strong start to the school year! #GoGilmer
From the Nurse's Office:
We kindly remind our 7th and 12th grade students and parents that up-to-date immunizations are a prerequisite prior to the commencement of the school term.
For our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students and families, please ensure that age-appropriate vaccines are fully administered before the start of the school year.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we prioritize the health and well-being of our students!
Save the Children's SummerBoost Camp has come to a close. To say we had a successful summer of fun and learning would be an understatement. A big shout to the SummerBoost staff for making this a memorable summer for the kiddos. Go Gilmer!!
