Week 7 Farm Bureau MVP is Braxton Nolan. He ran for 164 yards and 3 touchdowns on offense. Defensively he racked up 4 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery. In a GREAT display of senior leadership Braxton asked that the offensive line be included in the picture with him!

💜💛 A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS! 💜💛

Gurdon High School would like to extend a special thank you to Mr. Dustin Self and the members of the Gurdon Fire Department for visiting with our 9th–12th grade students today! Our students gained valuable, potentially life-saving knowledge about fire safety and prevention. Not only did they learn important safety skills, but our visitors also “sparked” some interest in pursuing a career in firefighting!

We would also like to extend our appreciation to Mr. Donald Westerman, Director of Workforce Development for the Arkadelphia Regional Economic Development Alliance, and Mr. Brock Westerman, owner of a construction company, for their engaging presentation on career opportunities in Advanced Manufacturing, Welding, Construction, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Systems. Their presentation gave our students valuable insight into skilled trades, workforce opportunities, and the many career pathways available after high school.

We are grateful to these community partners for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge, experiences, and expertise with our students. Experiences like these help our Go-Devils make meaningful connections between classroom learning and the opportunities awaiting them in the workforce.

At GHS, we are preparing students not just for graduation, but for life beyond the classroom! 💜💛

Congratulations to our Mighty Go-Devil Marching Band!! They qualified for State! 💜💛

Gurdon Public Schools WILL be open today, Thursday October 15. Our cafeteria will have bottled water for drinking. We realize some may still be experiencing water issues, but the schools will be open.

Congratulations to our Cross Country teams for another great meet! A special congratulations to the runner of the week, Kevin Leon! 💜💛

Bennett Gonzales is presented the MVP ball for the win over Junction City by Brian Clark of Farm Bureau. He had 3 tackles, 2 assists, and three tackles for loss on defense as well as played a great game at the offensive tackle position.

Our city and a few volunteers have worked through the night but the water issue is still not fully resolved. Due to the severity of the situation, Gurdon Public Schools will have no choice but to be closed for classes today, Wednesday October 14. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to see everyone on Thursday.

Tomorrow GPSD is going PINK for spirit week!

The 2026 GHS Coronation was magical! 💜💛
