Attention GCT Patrons:
The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has offered an early start waiver for next school year. This waiver would allow GCT to start school during the week of August 12th as opposed to August 19th. We are asking for some feedback from patrons concerning the early start. Please provide your feedback using the form linked below.

Congratulations to the GCTHS Choir students that earned a place in the 2024 All-State Choir at competition.
SNOW DAY MAKEUP INFORMATION:
The Arkansas Department of Education issued a waiver that allows school districts to change their calendar from traditional to alternate. Traditional calendars calculate days, while the alternate calendar calculates minutes/hours. Districts are allowed to "bank" instructional time and substitute that time for inclement weather days. GCT took advantage of the waiver and was able to substitute two of the three days we missed for snow. This means we only need to make up one day. We will make up this day on February 19th.
Congratulations to Alyssa Coffel. She is the January AR Reader of the Month.
I really enjoyed watching the Tech TV students working the Miss GCT pageant. The students did a fantastic job filming the program. Watching the director from behind the scenes was an experience that opened my eyes to the talents and skills our kids in the program have.
The GCT Pre-School Beauty Pageant contestants are so precious. Plans after graduation: Play at McDonald's all day, become a princess.
What is your favorite subject in school: Recess, coloring, and lunch were popular answers. Me to ladies, me too.
