**School Attendance Matters!**
At Gilmer County High School, we firmly believe that attending school is the cornerstone of academic success. Each day in the classroom is an opportunity for growth, learning, and building the foundation for a brighter future. Regular attendance ensures that students not only acquire knowledge but also develop vital life skills, friendships, and a strong work ethic.
That's why our Communities in Schools Liaisons have partnered with our school to focus on promoting "The Titan Way" to Excellence in Attendance! Please see the attached graphic that highlights the plan that has been in place.
Let's make every day count because every day at school is a step closer to achieving our dreams! Together, we can empower our students to reach their full potential.

Dr. Tony Minney, the Superintendent of GCS, paid a special visit to Ms. Brittany Koutsunis' 8th Grade General Music class last Friday. He delivered an engaging lesson on the rich history of folk music in Appalachia. The students enjoyed the tales of West Virginia's musical heritage and were treated to a hands-on demonstration of one of folk music's most iconic instruments: the fiddle.
During his visit, Dr. Minney not only shared his knowledge but also showcased his musical talents by playing several fiddle tunes and singing a selection of traditional folk songs that beautifully evoked the spirit of Appalachia. This immersive experience allowed our students to connect with our cherished local traditions.
Following these engaging demonstrations, the students were given the opportunity to try their hand at playing the fiddle, creating their own musical expressions and further deepening their appreciation for the art of folk music.
