GPSD would like to thank Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry for our partnership to provide wild game snack sticks for the school food and backpack program.

Gurdon School District continues to recognize October as Fire Prevention Month. This Thursday Mr. Self, along with other representatives from Gurdon Fire Department, and Eddie Anderson, Community Risk Reduction Specialist with the Arkansas Fire Marshall's office, will speak to our K-2nd grade about fire safety. The fire truck will be on-site for students to check out!

Fire-related fatalities are on the rise - Arkansas has the highest total since 2016!
2016: 47
2021: 38
2022: 35
2023: 34
2024: 27
October 2025: 50!!

We care about the safety of our students and families, and the primary way to practice fire safety is to have working smoke detectors in your homes. According to Mr. Anderson, “If a fire breaks out, you typically have just 2 to 3 minutes to escape. Installing a working smoke detector can boost your chances of survival by 60 percent—while not having one puts your family at serious risk.” Fall is a great time to replace your smoke detector if it is more than 10 years old, or to replace the batteries in a newer smoke detector.

A special thank you to our emcee for the evening, Mr. Billy Tarpley. We are grateful for your willingness to return to your alma mater and share your talents with us. Your support and unwavering Go-Devil spirit are truly appreciated! 💜💛

We can't forget our small but mighty in spirit royalty attendants. They were prince and princess ready to take on PURPLE REIGNS 💜💛

PURPLE REIGNS was majestically represented by our beautiful maid of honor, Genesis Henriquez and our handsome Co-Captain, Andres Camarillo 💜💛 Our stunning queen, Brea Biley, represented GHS with style, and our debonair Captain, Uriah Gatlin, was right by her side, ready to defend our good ol' GHS 💜💛

It was a magical night for PURPLE REIGNS! Our young gentlemen were dapper and our ladies were elegant! GHS Homecoming 2025! 💜💛

Oh, what beautiful Homecoming Royalty! Come join us for the crowning of our 2025 Homecoming Queen at 6:00 pm at Cabe Auditorium for the Coronation!

What a beautiful day for a parade! We have such a beautiful homecoming court! 💜💛

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Carga cualquier dispositivo con batería de ion de litio sobre una superficie dura, nunca sobre la cama,
el sofá ni debajo de una almohada. Yno lo sobrecargues. Una vez que el dispositivo esté al 100%, desconéctalo y continúa. Conéctate a la seguridad contra incendios en la Semana de la Prevención de Incendios.
