Technology touches every part of our schools, from the classroom to the front office, and it wouldn’t happen without the expertise of our incredible tech team.

Today, we proudly recognize Chief Technology Officer Ric Moseley, Network Administrator Allen Pendleton and IT Support Specialist Brent Roberts for the countless ways they keep Guntersville City Schools connected, protected, and prepared for success.

Whether it’s keeping systems secure, solving problems big and small, or ensuring students and teachers have the tools they need to learn and grow, Ric, Allen and Brent are the steady hands behind the scenes that make it all possible.

Please join us in showing our appreciation for their hard work and dedication!

Every school day is another opportunity for our students to learn, grow and connect!

Being at school means another chance to learn something new, ask a question, connect with a teacher, spend time with friends or discover something you love. Those opportunities may seem small in the moment, but day after day, they add up and make a difference!

Regular attendance helps students stay connected to their classrooms, their school community and the people who are here to support them. Because when it comes to learning, growing and belonging, Every Day Matters!

September is Attendance Awareness Month and we’re reminding our families that Every Day Matters. Consistent attendance helps students stay connected, continue building on what they learn each day and make the most of every opportunity at school.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing daily reminders about the importance of showing up, being on time and making attendance a priority.

Show up. Stay Connected. Make Every Day Matter.

On Monday, Guntersville City Schools had the opportunity to celebrate Mr. Jeff Mims with a retirement reception honoring his many years of service to our district.

As GCS Maintenance Supervisor, Mr. Mims has played an important role in the growth and improvement of our district’s facilities. During his tenure, he oversaw the construction of the new Guntersville High School and the new GHS gymnasium, along with numerous renovations, facility upgrades and projects across our schools.

Beyond the major projects, his work behind the scenes each day helped ensure our students and staff had safe, well-maintained places to learn and work.

We are grateful for Mr. Mims’ hard work, dedication and service to Guntersville City Schools and wish him all the best in his retirement!
