Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians, Welcome back to another exciting school year filled with promise, growth, and endless possibilities! As the Superintendent of Gilmer County Schools, I am thrilled to warmly welcome everyone back to school! Our school district's mission is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to Empowering, Inspiring, and Engaging each and every one of our students. This year, we are more determined than ever to create a dynamic learning environment that fosters creativity and critical thinking. We are continuing our focus on improving proficiency rates in reading and math, improving the chronically absent rate, and improving our students on track to graduate. A primary goal as superintendent in my home district is to unite the community behind one mission and forge a bond between all parents and community members and our school system. Collaboration between schools and parents forms the foundation upon which our students' futures are built. As we dive into a new academic year, it's imperative to reflect on the importance of this dynamic partnership and its lasting impact on our children's growth. One of my top initiatives as superintendent is to develop a positive relationship and connect with all parents and community members. The concept of a school-parent partnership isn't merely a trend; it's a proven strategy that yields remarkable results. Our district is more than just buildings and classrooms; it's a community dedicated to the growth and development of our students. I am proud to be back in Gilmer County. Gilmer County folks always take care of each other. Working with all stakeholders in this district gives me a great sense of pride. If you as a student, parent, guardian, community member, or faculty and staff, ever need anything or if I can help you in any way, please let me know. I am here to do my best to serve Gilmer County Schools. A robust educational community has always been the foundation of Gilmer County. I am delighted to partner with students and parents and watch our students succeed in Gilmer County Schools. I am genuinely excited about the journey ahead and the incredible experiences that await us. Let's seize this opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—together. Here's to a year filled with laughter, discovery, and shared accomplishments. Once again, welcome back to Gilmer County Schools. Let's have a great school year!! Dr. Tony Minney, Superintendent of Gilmer County Schools

Gilmer SummerBoost had special guests join us on Thursday, June 22nd during the morning academic rotations. These were folks from the National office of Save the Children and the WV state office of Save the Children. They were very pleased with the "fabulous" work that they saw in the SummerBoost program. While visiting, they also discussed other Save the Children programs in Gilmer County, including Early Steps, KinderBoost, Afterschool and the Mobile Feeding Unit. We were really excited and proud to receive national attention on the great work our staff and students are doing in Gilmer County.
