Today, Thursday, November 20, 2025, is the 31st National Parent Involvement Day. On this day, we recognize and celebrate the powerful role parents and families play in supporting student success. The GSCS Department of Federal Programs would like to take this opportunity to honor parents, caregivers and families for their dedication and commitment. Let's continue to work together to strengthen our partnership to enhance your scholar's educational journey.
GSCS Schools Make Strong Strides in 2025 CCRPI Performance!

The 2025 CCRPI results were released on November 12, 2025. The data reveals that Griffin-Spalding County Schools (GSCS) improved in 12 of the 13 components. READ MORE: https://5il.co/3sfsw
GSCS Interim Superintendent Dr. Donald Warren said, “These gains reflect the hard work of our teachers, leaders, students and families. While we still have work to do, this momentum shows that GSCS is on the path toward sustained improvement and we will continue pushing forward together. These results show what is possible when everyone is aligned and working with purpose. I am incredibly proud of our staff and students, and I know this is only the beginning of what GSCS will achieve.”

#SchoolPsychWeek is an annual opportunity to recognize the important role our school psychologists have in helping our students thrive in school, at home and in life. This year's theme, "Finding Your Path," reflects the ways that school psychologists help students, families and school communities set and achieve their goals. Join us in celebrating the work of our school psychologists and the difference they make every day. Thank you!
Yesterday, the Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting at Fairmont Community Center for the new book vending machine. We are so thankful that so many people turned out to support this continued commitment to improving literacy in Griffin-Spalding! This was a great collaboration between the city, county, chamber, school system, Partners In Education and many other organizations.
Rehoboth Road Middle School students had an incredible opportunity to visit Southern Crescent Technical College this week for a hands-on introduction to technical education and career pathways. Students explored multiple programs, met instructors and experienced real-world applications of classroom learning. Feedback from both students and teachers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many already expressing new interest in future career options. GSCS appreciates the SCTC staff for organizing such an engaging day and looks forward to the possibility of expanding this experience to all middle schools next year.
