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.

🌎☀️ 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! 💙💛🎺
