During the April 16, 2026, Special Meeting of the Gilmer County Board of Education, the Board formally recognized the First Place Gold Creative Problem Solving Team from the Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center’s HOSA chapter. The team earned top honors at the State Leadership Conference held at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. This achievement marks the second consecutive year the team has claimed the state-level gold award. HOSA is a student-led organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and numerous federal and state agencies.
Pictured winners are Ellie Lowther, Joshua Minney, and Hannah Jones along with their Instructor Becky Burns, Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center Director Kyre-Anna Minney, Superintendent Dr. Tony Minney and the Gilmer Board of Education members.

Getting ready for the next school year? 📚

Students entering 7th and 12th grade need to make sure their required health records are up to date before the first day of school.

Required documents include updated immunizations, a recent physical (not a sports physical), and a dental exam within the last year.

Students will not be able to attend school or participate in activities until all records are submitted. Please check with your healthcare provider and turn in paperwork as soon as possible!

Our students showed up and showed out at Regional Math Field Day this past Saturday at University High in Morgantown!

Representing grades 4–10, we’re proud of these hardworking students for their dedication and problem-solving skills:
Christopher Pennebaker, Colin Carter, Aidyn Bonnett, Rayden Tomblin, Lucas Hardman, Vader McAtee, Jayse Matteson, Aubrie Daigle, Ryker Frame, Brooklyn White, Ella Woodford, Ryder Tomblin, Mason Morris, Jobe Carter, Georgia Carpenter, Ava Bush, and Preston Greenlief.

Students pictured come from GCES, GCHS, and GCCA—great job representing our schools! 👏

✨ Building Strong Number Sense with Subitizing! ✨

Subitizing is when students can quickly recognize how many objects are in a group without counting one by one. This important skill builds strong number sense and helps make addition and math facts easier and faster. We’re growing those math brains every day! 🧠➕

At last night’s Board of Education meeting, the Board approved granting the Superintendent the authority to convert OS (Out-of-School) Days to regular instructional calendar days when emergency closures occur. This change allows us to make timely adjustments to protect required instructional time and reduce the need for make-up days later in the year.
As a result of this action, Monday, February 9, 2026, will be converted from an OS Day to a Regular School Day.
Students and staff should report as they would on any standard instructional day.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued commitment to supporting our students and school operations.
