Gurdon Public Schools

Don't forget to get your tattoos and spirit ribbons tomorrow morning before school starts! Cheerleaders will be selling them at all three schools.

Parents/Guardians:

Due to a city water issue, the schools are currently experiencing a significant loss of water pressure. For that reason, we will be running our buses and picking up early this afternoon. Buses will begin picking up at Primary at 2:45 p.m. They will then complete their runs to Cabe and GHS. Parents who are picking up, please be cautious of buses attempting to get into the schools. We apologize for the inconvenience. The water issue should be resolved this afternoon; however, all after-school activities will be cancelled today.

Our Go-Devil Cross Country team competed in the Danny Westbrook Bryant Hornet Invitational on Tuesday - their biggest meet of the season with more than 900 runners from across the state! 💜💛 We are proud of our runners for competing hard, representing Gurdon well, and continuing to improve each week. Congratulations to Callen Johnson, who was named Nashville Runner of the Week! Great job, Go-Devils! 💜💛

Today, GHS celebrates three very special people who do so much to keep our school clean, safe, and looking its best each day: Ms. Wanda, Mrs. Brittany, and Mr. Stacy! Their work often happens behind the scenes, but the difference they make is seen and felt throughout our entire campus. We appreciate their hard work, dedication, and the care they show our students, staff, and school every single day.

We are so thankful to have them as part of our GHS family!

We love our GHS custodians! 💜💛

Our Cross Country team continues to work hard and show that Go-Devil pride! Congratulations to all of our participants and placers! 💜💛

GHS BETA CLUB IS NATIONALS BOUND — TIMES THREE! The officers of the Gurdon High School Beta Club recently attended the Arkansas Leadership Summit, where they competed in three leadership challenges and qualified for Nationals in all three! Throughout the summit, our students shared ideas, worked together to develop solutions, prepared presentations, and confidently presented their pitches to judges. Beta Blitz: Students designed a shirt incorporating the four pillars of Beta—Service, Character, Leadership, and Achievement—along with this year’s theme, “Legends in the Making.” Collaboration Connection: Our officers completed a problem-solving challenge that demonstrated their teamwork, adaptability, communication, and leadership skills. Project Proposal: Students developed a proposal for a new service project that would establish a recycling program at GHS and encourage sustainable habits throughout our student body and community. Their hard work paid off, earning National qualification in all three competitions! We are incredibly proud of these students for representing GHS with creativity, teamwork, leadership, and excellence. They didn’t just talk about the pillars of Beta—they demonstrated them. Congratulations to our Beta Club officers! You are showing everyone what it means to be Legends in the Making and taking that Go-Devil Greatness to the national stage! #GoDevilGreatness #GHSBetaClub #LegendsInTheMaking #NationalsBound
