GCTSD will be closed Monday, January 26, 2026 due to inclement weather conditions. This day is banked in the school calendar and will not need to be made up. Stay safe and warm.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Board of Education for their dedication, leadership, and service to our students, staff, and community. School board members give countless hours to ensure our schools remain focused on student success, fiscal responsibility, and a strong future for our district. We would also like to offer special recognition to Jason Weatherford for his 13 years of service to our school board and community. Jason’s commitment, steady leadership, and passion for public education have made a lasting impact on our district. His time, guidance, and willingness to serve have helped shape decisions that benefit generations of students. Thank you to all of our board members for your continued support of public education, and thank you, Jason Weatherford, for over a decade of faithful service to our schools and community.

The Intermediate Student Council spent the morning at Walmart supporting the Fill the Food Bank event! 🛒❤️ All food and donations collected will go directly to Mission Outreach. After a quick lunch at Pizza Inn, students headed to Mission Outreach for a tour and a chance to learn more about the incredible work they do for our community. They wrapped up the day by bagging 85 lbs of rice to be included in upcoming food boxes. So proud of these students for giving their time and energy to serve others! #StudentLeaders #CommunityService #FillTheFoodBank

Due to an issue in the Carriage Hills area, buses 30, 37, and 38 will not be running their normal routes today in the Carriage Hills area. All students who ride these buses who live in the Carriage Hills area will need to be picked up at Greene County Tech High School. A parent must be present to sign your student out with identification. Please park in the big parking lot in the back of the High School and enter through the student entrance in the back. There is no threat of harm to our schools or students, but we will not be able to complete those bus routes as normal.
