As part of Georgia PreK week, former GCSS School Board member Sammy Smith read to students Wednesday morning at Enota ❤️

A long-stranding Red Elephant tradition, and something not to be missed. Let's get ready for Friday night tonight with the Big Red Machine, Gainesville cheerleaders, GHS JROTC, homecoming king and queen candidates, and of course Red Elephant football team #GoBigRed

The Gainesville square was live Thursday for Gainesville High School's annual Homecoming Parade. Our photo gallery of the event is now live too, so check it out, and remember that if you get our Gainesville Athletics app, you can download photos right to your phone #GoBigRed

A high school diploma is a life necessity. Our drive force is the knowledge that the minute our students walk across the state on Bobby Gruhn Field in May, a world of infinite possibilities awaits. We are proud, but not satisfied #GoBigRed

As part of National School Bus Safety Week, today is School Bus Drivers’ Appreciation Day. To those who take the utmost care when taking care of our students, thank you isn’t enough. Big Red’s bus drivers go above and beyond and should be celebrated #GoBigRedBusDrivers

Recommendations from the 2024 Attendance Zones and School Choice Committee have been made to the Gainesville City Schools Board, now it's time for our Gainesville community to weigh in. We look forward to hearing from our Herd #GoBigRed

For your patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Mr. Thompson held season football tickets for 77 years and will be sorely missed when his Red Elephants hit Bobby Gruhn Field on Aug. 15 for the first game of 2025. The Red Kingdom stands with the Thompson family in their time of mourning ♥️🙏

Grateful for the G today and everyday #GoBigRed

Congratulations to our Heroes of the Herd, recognized at Monday's Gainesville City Schools Board meeting: From GMS East, Media Specialist Rebecca Oliver and paraprofessional Abby Grindle; and from GMS West, ESOL teacher Jisel Arroyo and security guard Jim Von Essen.

Due to anticipated winter weather conditions, including snowfall, icy roads, and high winds, Gainesville City Schools will be closed on Fri., Jan. 10 to students and all employees.

Maintenance & Operations has been working hard to clear campuses (a big red shoutout to that team), but to be on the safe side because we still have ice in various locations, everybody needs to be a little late to school & work tomorrow. We are a grateful Gainesville #GoBigRed

Martin Luther King Jr. was speaking at Stanford University in 1967 when he uttered the now famous "The time is always right to do right." We honor and celebrate him today with a national holiday, but to truly honor him is to do "right" daily: how will you start today?

With the ground temperature at or below freezing, any precipitation tomorrow will be hazardous.  In an abundance of caution, Gainesville City School System will participate in virtual learning on January 21.  Please check with your teacher(s) regarding the expectations.

Due to snow accumulation and unsafe driving conditions in parts of the city, Gainesville City School System will be closed Wednesday, January 22. Please check with your teacher(s) regarding the expectations.

As clarification, while school buildings will be closed giving way to NO in-person learning, Wednesday is to be another virtual day for students and staff of Gainesville City Schools
