Congratulations to the Class of 2025 and thank you for so many great memories. From Elvis at HOCO sophomore year, the student who would critique my choice of ties and jackets, the high fives, all of the outstanding athletic, choir, and band performances. The great effort the senior Class officers made to provide fun activities for the a senior class, and the "Rodeo" in the courtyard. Your performances in the school plays, incredible art work, and seeing the growth in maturity so many of you made the three years here at the High School are this I will remember about the Class of 2025.

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. https://www.heathfuneralhome.com/obituaries/tim-dowler

Student leaders from FCA, FBLA, and Drug Free Teens attended the Greene County Mental Health and Substance Abuse Coalition’s Youth Leadership Summit today. They joined students from across the area to participate in various activities aimed at helping them learn strategies for promoting drug-free lifestyles, supporting mental health, and creating positive change in their schools and communities—locally and beyond.

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!
