Pretty cool to see two former students, one near the start and one near the end of my career, making a positive impact in our community. Congrats to George Vaughan on being named the Chamber's Volunteer of the Year. Thank you Kevin Young for your service to the Chamber.

Our students were treated to a great show by our theater department today. It's still amazes me how talented our students are. Mrs. Dial has produced another incredible show.

Congratulations to Mrs. Charity Andrews, Paragould Regional Chamber Educator of the Year! Mrs. Andrews is so deserving of this award for her work in our school district and our community. She is truly one of the best!! #StayGoldenEagles

NEED A BIG STUDENT TURNOUT TO COME OUT AND MAKE A GREAT ATMOSPHERE FOR ⚽️ TONIGHT.

Today's baseball game has been canceled.

The GCT Choir had a great time performing, making a professional recording, and sightseeing in Nashville during spring break.

I spy some Golden Eagles among the BRTC students in the phlebotomy program. Our students in the program are able to learn skills and earn certificates as High School students that will prepare them for the high demand professions in the workforce!
