On Thursday, students who demonstrated growth on this year’s STAR Math and STAR Literacy assessments were rewarded with a well-deserved ice cream celebration!
A heartfelt thank you to Turner Dairy for generously donating all the ice cream and helping us recognize the hard work and progress of our students. Your support made this day extra special!

January 27 is a day the Floyd family will always remember. On that day, Maddox Floyd was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. Since then, Maddox has been receiving exceptional care at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital—a place his mother describes with deep gratitude.
In support of Maddox and the incredible work done by St. Jude, our school hosted a silent auction fundraiser during our most recent Parent Night. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised an impressive $943.00.
We are immensely proud of the strength and resilience Maddox continues to show. Today, we had the honor of presenting a check for $943.00 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, given in Maddox’s name.

This week was about appreciating all of our employees because it takes us all to take care of our precious students. These people have a heart for your children. To all of the businesses that helped us out, THANK YOU for supporting our school. 💚💛
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Mr. Tim Dowler. He was more than just a member of our staff—he was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a cherished part of our community.
For 37 years, Mr. Dowler has poured heart, soul, and endless energy into the Greene County Tech School District. Always the hardest worker in the room-showing up early, staying late, and doing whatever it takes to support our school.
His loyalty, example, and love for people around him has left a legacy that words can’t fully capture. Mr. Dowler is a true Golden Eagle and will be greatly missed.

GOALS FOR GOOD is a community service project created by GCT high school student Thore Cardinal von Widdern which will benefit schools and bring fun to the community. Thore's project will provide funds to assist schools in meeting specific student needs and will contribute to your backpack food program, provide hygiene items and socks and underwear for clothing closets. This unique project was created by Thore after he recognized the ways schools and school employees contribute to various student needs beyond academics, and he wanted to find a way to give back. 100% of funds raised by our students go to OUR school.
Please join us on May 3 (9 am-12 pm). Thore's event will take place at the Community Center Soccer fields. We will be set up between the pool and the restrooms . There will be LOTS for the kids to do—all FREE.
A big shoutout to our GCT Chartwell Lunch Heroes and the incredible leadership of Ms. Kristin Gazaway and Ms. Jennifer Ring! They brighten the day of every student at Greene County Tech with a smile while serving breakfast and lunch. We're truly blessed to have them!
