Crowd Seating: Gilmer County vs. St. Marys | October 10, 2025

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to Friday night’s game as Gilmer County takes on St. Marys High School!

To ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all — including our student-athletes, game officials, and spectators — we’ve established a designated seating area for handicapped guests and fan overflow.

We know seating can get crowded, and we appreciate your cooperation in using the designated areas to help us keep the stands organized and accessible.

Your support helps us maintain a great game-day environment for everyone.
Thank you — and Go Titans!

Did you know there's a difference between Chronic Absenteeism and Truancy?

Both impact student success—but in different ways.

Message from Mr. Fox

Thank you to our parents, students, staff, and community for making Homecoming Week such a success! It was wonderful to start some new traditions while bringing back some old favorites.

We are so fortunate to have a community that supports our students and shows such strong school pride. I am proud of our students for their spirit and hard work in making the week special, and I truly appreciate our staff for the extra time and effort they put in to make it all possible.

This celebration couldn’t have happened without each of you. Thank you for making Homecoming Week 2025 one to remember!

– Mr. Fox

🏃‍♂️XC Meet Recap! 🏃‍♀️

Our athletes took on the challenging hills known as "Big Mama" and "Little Papa" last weekend—and they came out stronger than ever! ⛰️

✅ All but one runner set a new PR

✅ Two of our 6th grade boys earned Top 20 finishes 🏅

✅ Our Middle School Boys Team brought home a fantastic 2nd Place finish! 🥈

We are so proud of the grit, determination, and teamwork shown by every runner. Keep climbing, keep pushing, and keep believing—you’re proving what you’re capable of each race! #gogilmer #gchsCC

🍭🍬ATTENTION, SWEET-TOOTHED SPIRIT SQUAD!🍬🍭

Mother Nature has rained on our bonfire parade... and apparently, she’s not a fan of toasted marshmallows. 🔥💧
But don’t worry — the sugar rush is still on! We’re moving the bonfire bash to the high school, where the only thing melting will be your competitive streak in the class games! 🏆🎉

Step into our very own Candyland, where gumdrop goals, licorice laughs, and peppermint pride await! 🍥🍫 Whether you're Team Chocolate Swirl or Team Jellybean Jam, come dressed to impress and ready to play — because this indoor adventure is going to be sweet!

So grab your game face, your school spirit, and maybe a candy cane for good luck — and let’s turn this soggy situation into a sugar-coated success! 🍭😄

Two homecoming updates:

Due to the changes in the Homecoming dance schedule that were made last week, photography for the dance will start at 7:00 PM and run through at least 9:00 PM. The DJ will still announce a "last call" for photos before the photographer shuts down for the night.

Also: It’s Homecoming Bonfire Day! 🔥 Join us tonight at the Brooklyn Football Field for an evening full of school spirit and fun!

We’ll kick things off with Class Games, and the winning class will take home the Bonfire Spirit Cup! 🏆 Refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM, so come early, grab a snack, and get ready to cheer on your classmates!

🌧️ In case of rain, all festivities will be moved to the High School.
📢 A final decision on the location will be made by NOON today, so stay tuned for updates!

Let’s make this a night to remember—Go Titans! 💥#goGilmer #titanbonfire #GCHShoco25
