Gilmer County High School Homecoming Dance Update:

After listening to community concerns regarding the upcoming Gilmer County High School Homecoming, we are making an adjustment to the 2025 dance schedule.

Updated Dance Schedule:
7:00–8:00 PM – Middle School students only
8:00–9:30 PM – All students, grades 6–12
9:30–11:00 PM – High School students (grades 9–12) only

We hope this revised schedule creates an enjoyable and inclusive experience for all students. Our goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate in and celebrate Homecoming in a safe, welcoming, and unified school environment.

🪩Homecoming 2025 – Dance Schedule Update🪩

We want to inform students and families of a change to the Homecoming Dance schedule at GCHS.

This year, we will be moving to a single, unified dance time for all students. The dance will run from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

🔹Middle School students may attend until 9:30 PM
🔹High School students (Grades 9–12) may remain at the dance until 11:00 PM

While this is a shift from the original plan, we believe this adjustment can help foster a more connected school community and streamline the evening for everyone involved.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

We’re looking forward to a great Homecoming celebration! 💙 #gchshomecoming #GoGilmer

Science in action! 🔬🔥

Ms. Ramezan’s Science 7 students got hands-on with a lab exploring chemical reactions that release energy!

They observed heat being released when combining different substances, helping them connect what they saw in the lab to how our cells create energy through cellular respiration. 💡
