Job Opening
Gurdon! We need your help stocking up our school food pantry. You may drop off food at the Wellness Center or any school office.
Great News for the Go-Devil Bands!!
Today was a long day for our marvelous students full of musical performances and fun!
We took our Junior High and Senior High bands to ASBOA's Region II Concert Band Assessment, where both bands received a rating of "Excellent" (II) on stage and a rating of "Superior" (I) in Sight Reading. Both of these bands demonstrated a high degree of professionalism today and proudly represented the Gurdon community.
The Gurdon Junior High band has not attended Concert Assessment since 2020 and has not scored a rating of "Excellent" or higher since 2018. Now they will start to rehearse music for our end of year festival trip!
The Gurdon Senior High band will continue their musical journey to ASBOA's State Concert Competition on Thursday April 16 in Searcy.
Way to go Go-Devil Bands!
Be Great!
It's that time of year again!

Good morning Go-Devils!
The safety of our students and staff is our #1 priority. The week after spring break, we will be introducing two new security screening systems to our campus. These tools are an investment in prevention. We aren't just protecting a building; we are protecting our most valuable assets—your children! These upgrades were funded through the Community Oriented Policing (COPS) grant.
An overview of the systems:
The Opengate system is a fast, portable weapons detection system designed to keep lines moving that will be used at GHS and intermittently throughout the other buildings in the district, including at sporting and community events.
The PMD2 Plus system is a high-performance, traditional metal detector that will be located at the front entrance to CES.
We are proud to add one more measure to keep our community safe and our hallways secure.
Be on the lookout for more information next week!
