Gurdon Public Schools

Then and Now: Look how our Close-up program has grown from the first student, Bobby Marion, and sponsor, Coach Mike Reynolds, pictured with Arkansas Representative Beryl Anthony, to our 2026 Close-up participants. Other amazing sponsors include Carolyn Kuhn, Misty Woolf, Tabitha Stroud, Dalton Hyde, James Doran, and Cena Clark. We are thankful for the continued encouragement and support from Mrs. Anita Cabe and the Gurdon Community.

National Honor Society induction ceremony for students was held this morning at GHS. We are extremely proud of each new inductee.

Reminder: Free sports physical clinic with Dr. Pennington will be held at the Wellness Center on May 5.  This will be the only opportunity for your student to get a free sports physical at school. Sports physicals are required to participate in all sports, including band. Forms should be completed and returned to the school office ASAP.
