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.
Summer Boost Camp (GCES) and Summer Academy (GCHS) start on Wednesday, June 14th. Please see attached the Summer Menu and Summer Bus Schedule. If you have questions, please call the school office at either school. The Summer programs are June 14-July 28, 8am-2pm. Breakfast at each school is at 8am and lunch is at 11:30am. There will be no summer programs on June 19, June 20 or July 4, due to holidays.
On June 20th, there will be a summer meet-up for students interested in marching band for the upcoming season. The event will take place in the GCHS band room from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

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.

GCHS prospective graduates were honored today at the annual "Senior Awards Assembly". This ceremony is a celebration of the hard work and achievements of our seniors as well as a showcase of how talented these young men and women are. They represent the future of our community, and that future is bright.
At this time, we extend a heartfelt congratulations to each of our distinguished seniors who earned honors, scholarships, awards, certificates, and other recognitions. We are proud of our prospective graduates for their exceptional accomplishments in the classroom, the simulated workplace, and in various competitions. These accolades were made possible by their unyielding determination, indomitable will, and stolid perseverance in the face of great adversity.
We also would like to express deepest appreciation to the generous organizations, community members, alumni, and institutions of higher learning who have made these scholarships and awards possible.
