All Gilmer County Schools will be closed Monday, January 6th due to inclement weather.
The Gilmer County Board of Education adopted a resolution at their December 16th regular meeting urging the State of West Virginia to stabilize PEIA. Members recognize that the financial instability of PEIA has led to increasing costs for public employees and has placed an undue burden on the ones who are critical to our educational system. The resolution is meant to urge WV State Legislature and the Governor to take immediate action, ensuring that the program remains sustainable, affordable, and equitable for all public employees. Special thanks to board members for their support!
High school students, semester exams are scheduled for the end of the 2nd nine week period, which takes place just after Winter Break. Please see the attached flyer for a schedule of which period exams will be held on each day.

JAM (Junior Appalachian Musicians) is an exciting program dedicated to preserving the rich cultural heritage of central West Virginia through music and dance. By learning string instruments and the art of playing by ear, students immerse themselves in the traditional tunes of Appalachia, honing their skills while connecting with a vibrant legacy. The program also offers opportunities to learn from Master Class Artists, fostering growth and appreciation for the region's musical traditions.
GCES recently hosted a JAM presentation for 4th and 5th-grade students, introducing them to this enriching experience and celebrating the beauty of Appalachian music and dance.
