⏰ Every Minute Matters at GCHS!
Gilmer County High School continues to make strong progress in improving student attendance.
Chronic absenteeism has decreased to 17.26% during the 3rd 9 weeks—our lowest rate this year and a positive step toward our goal of reducing from 23.4% to 19.9% by the end of the school year.
Consistent attendance remains critical to student success. Students are encouraged to maintain at least 95% attendance, as every minute in the classroom contributes to their future achievement.
We appreciate the continued support of our students, families, and staff. Together, we are making a difference!
