GCHS Summer Academy Update!
Throughout the week, attendees utilized cutting-edge GPS and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques to map nearby trails located in Gilmer County. This ongoing project will extend into the following week and provide students with the opportunity to develop crucial skills such as teamwork, geographic literacy, and proficiency in GIS and other computer systems.
Additionally, students took part in outdoor activities that not only allowed them to get some fresh air and exercise but also contributed to the beautification of the campus. They dedicated their time to pulling out weeds from the rocks in front of the school, enriching the environment for all.
Finally, students enjoyed some well-earned rest and relaxation at the Lewis County pool. This outing provided the kids with an opportunity to unwind, enjoy recreational activities, and create lasting memories together.
Go Gilmer!
There will be no speed work/conditioning tonight due to 7-on-7 practice. If you are not participating in the 7-on-7, please continue mobility and condition work on your own.

The goal is to provide high school students with an opportunity to recover insufficient credits or earn an elective credit. The program also allows middle school students to enhance their academic skills and engage all students in various enriching STEAM activities during their summer break. Students will also be afforded summer trips each Friday of the Summer Academy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Travis Fisher by calling 304-462-7960 or by email tmfisher@k12.wv.us.

This is a reminder about the Summer Academy program happening this summer! The program starts this Wednesday, June 14th and runs from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
Like in years past, we will be offering credit recovery for students who need to recover a credit from the regular school year so they will not have to make up that credit in the next year.
We also want to provide enrichment for any students who would like a little boost in training in a subject area in preparation for next year. New this year, we would like to offer the opportunity for an elective credit for a summer course centered on science and engineering practices. There will be hands-on activities, projects, research and some writing involved. Students that participate in this program for the duration of the summer can receive an hour of elective credit on their transcript.
There will be a trip each Friday for students making adequate progress in their program. There’ll be breakfast and lunch each day, and transportation will be provided along the main routes.
For more information, please contact Mr. Fisher (tmfisher@k12.wv.us) or Mrs. Fox (Michaela.fox@k12.wv.us) at Gilmer County High School.
