        Gibson County High School encourages reading in the content area as well as reading for pleasure.  An important part of our SACS plan is to improve the reading skills of all students.  As Margaret Fuller said, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." According to the National Institute for Literacy, "43% of Americans with the lowest literacy skills live in poverty and 70% have no job or a part-time job. 75% of unemployed adults have reading or writing difficulties."  The National Center for Education Statistics says that "More than any other subject or skill, our children's futures are all but determined by how well they learn to read."
