Attention Parents/Guardians:
If your child has a positive home test for COVID and isn't too sick to need a visit to their healthcare provider, please send a parent note that includes a COVID diagnosis and get in touch with your child's teachers. As long as the student tries to keep up with their schoolwork, this absence will be marked as virtual/COVID and won't be counted as a parental excuse.
If the student is NOT well enough to engage in some academic work, they should see their provider and obtain a provider excuse.
For further guidance, please refer to the attached document from the West Virginia Department of Education.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe and healthy.
Reminder: GCHS will host an Open House event for rising 6th grade students TOMORROW from 5PM to 7PM!
During this event, you will have the opportunity to:
- Tour the school and locate your classrooms, helping you become familiar with the layout.
- Meet your teachers, allowing you to start building connections and easing any anxieties about the academic year.

Cookout to follow!
GCS staff participated in this morning's inaugural session for the 2023-2024 academic year. Superintendent Dr. Minney delivered remarks that showcased his enthusiasm for the upcoming school year and illustrated the new county mission statement: Empower, Inspire, Engage. Principals Tyson Price and Brandon Payne introduced new staff members and shared their excitement for students to return to school next Thursday.
The highlight of the event was an inspiring presentation delivered by Rodney Robinson, the distinguished recipient of the 2019 National Teacher of the Year award. Mr. Robinson took the audience through an inspiring narrative, detailing the transformational odyssey of the Virgie Binford Education Center – a journey that elevated it from closure to attaining the esteemed status of the top educational institution in the entire state.
During his address, Mr. Robinson underscored the pivotal role of forging meaningful connections, embracing the principles of restorative justice, and diligently catering to the diverse needs of students. These pillars, he stressed, are instrumental in cultivating an environment that inherently fosters favorable educational outcomes and nurtures a culture of positive learning.
We would like to thank our generous donors and community partners who made the staff breakfast possible:
Collins Insurance
Mama's Brick Oven
Par Mar
McDonald's
Glenville Foodland
Our teachers and staff are inspired and motivated to have a strong start to the school year! #GoGilmer
