In March we are highlighting our School-Based Health Center, otherwise known as the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center is located within GHS but serves all grades. First up is our bustling dental program. Scott Byrd, DDS and staff go above and beyond to keep our students' smiles bright. The Wellness Center has a fully functioning dental office with two dental chairs. Exams, x-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions all happen here - AT SCHOOL. Students missing school and parents missing work is a thing of the past - school-based care is the future! Our motto is that healthy students are better learners - preventative dental care is a HUGE part of keeping our students healthy. Call the Wellness Center for more information at 870-353-5123 Ext. 122.

🔊8th Grade Science in Action! 🔊
Our Gurdon High School 8th graders in Mr. Hatley’s class put their engineering and physics skills to the test by creating homemade speakers in the lab! Using everyday materials, they explored the science of electromagnetism, sound waves, and circuits to turn simple wires and magnets into working speakers.
Hands-on learning at its best! Who knew science could sound this cool? 🎶⚡
