GCMS Familes,
I could not be more proud of a community of people than I am today. We are all experiencing loss and challenge after the catastrophic flood of August 12th. Please continue to support each other as we navigate through these difficult times.
ALL GCMS buildings and fields will be available for access starting Monday morning. Please call your respective schools office if you need assistance on registration or with questions on preparation for returning for school.
Gibson City is working to collaborate all efforts for flood relief and a more in depth plan for resources and recovery support will be shared soon. Be sure to routinely check for updates on the Gibson City Website and the GCMS Website (or social media feeds from both entities).

GCMS Families,
I want to make everyone aware that ALL GCMS facilities will be closed today, Friday, August 13.
Our schools, our community, our families have experienced wide spread damage and loss from the floods of August 12th. Currently the Middle School is a temporary Red Cross Shelter with displaced families. At this time the Red Cross is facilitating all needs for these families, should needs arise we will make people aware.
I am amazed by the outpouring of support and responses by ALL of our community to rally around each other to secure the most precious asset, our people. Take care of yourselves, your neighbors, and your families in coming days. Further GCMS School District announcements will be made soon.
Falcon Proud!
Mr. Darnell
