Good afternoon, Titan families!
We wanted to share a small change to our parent drop-off procedures that will help improve traffic flow in the mornings.
Beginning Thursday, September 24, parent drop-off will take place on the West Wing of the school, outside of the band room. Moving drop-off to this location will help keep Pine Street clear and prevent traffic from backing up into the roadway.
This change will also help ensure that emergency vehicles have clear access to the school and surrounding areas when needed.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we make this adjustment.

Due to inclement weather, all evening practices for this evening have been canceled.
Our 6th grade students recently held a car wash and bake sale fundraiser to help offset their class dues for the school year! The fundraiser was a great success, and we’re so proud of our students for their hard work and effort.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our 6th graders! 💙

🌎☀️ Out-of-this-world learning at GCHS! 🌙🌎
Yesterday, September 16th, our 6th grade students got to take their learning to the next level as they explored solar and lunar eclipses with GSU teacher education candidate, Ms. Casto!
Our students have been learning all about the Earth, Moon, and Sun system and how their positions help create the different phases of the Moon.
The Starlab was the perfect way to wrap up their unit! Students got an immersive look at these amazing celestial events and a chance to see what they've been learning in class come to life.
We love finding fun, hands-on ways to make learning memorable! 💫

🎺 Five of our GCHS Marching Titans represented Gilmer County High School at WVU Band Day on Saturday, Sept. 12!
These students learned a song, rehearsed alongside WVU’s Pride of West Virginia, and took the field with the band during halftime. What a great opportunity to represent GCHS and be part of a college marching band experience!
Way to represent, Titans! 💙💛🎺

Science in Action: Part V! 🔬
Our students in Mrs. Ramezan's class continued their exploration of cellular respiration by investigating the amount of energy stored in some of their everyday snacks!
Students first made predictions about which snack they thought would provide the most energy and discussed whether that energy would be enough to support our day-to-day activities, especially for athletes with higher energy demands.
Using nutritional labels and precise measurements, students determined the mass and serving size of each sample and calculated the calories per gram, or energy yield. They then modeled how our bodies break down food during cellular respiration and observed how energy is released in the process.
To bring the concept to life, students also modeled the release of thermal energy using water, giving them a hands-on way to see how the energy stored in food can be transformed and released.
Another great example of students connecting biology, chemistry, and everyday life through hands-on science! 🧪
