The Gibson County Special School District is required to complete a TISA Accountability Report, which details how the district uses TISA funds to achieve specific goals for student achievement.
The TISA Accountability Report promotes efforts for school improvement. By providing feedback on academic performance, school climate, and student support services, parents help ensure transparency and guide data-driven decisions. Their input enables educators and administrators to identify strengths and areas for growth, fostering a more responsive and inclusive learning environment. This collaborative process strengthens the partnership between families and schools, ultimately benefiting student success.

This week's #GibsonCountyKind challenge focuses on spreading kindness through our words. For the next week, let's commit to using only positive language both online and in person to create more good vibes in our interactions. As Kid President said, "Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody," reminding us of the positive impact we can have on others. It's important to remember that words can last forever on the internet and can significantly affect people's feelings. This also raises the question of the difference between being nice and being kind, inviting us to reflect on how we interact with others. 🌟

Gibson County Special School District is proud to honor our outstanding educators who exemplify dedication, innovation, and a passion for student success.

Gibson County Special School District has partnered with the University of Tennessee at Martin to launch the Innovation Hub!
Today, we celebrated this partnership with our Innovation in Motion event. Guests enjoyed refreshments prepared by GCHS Culinary Arts students, networked with one another, and heard remarks from GCSSD Director of Schools, Mr. Eddie Pruett, and UTM Chancellor, Dr. Yancy Freeman.
Through the Innovation Hub, we will expand STEM opportunities, provide professional development for teachers, enhance educational support, increase early postsecondary opportunities, and create NEW ways for GCSSD students to earn UTM credit beyond traditional dual enrollment.
We’re excited to see how this partnership will continue to benefit our students and community! 🚀



We are proud to introduce our newly elected Student Board Representatives, Jack (senior at GCHS) and Isaac (junior at SGCHS)!
Jack and Isaac will join the seven elected board members in policy discussions to ensure the student voice is accounted for in all decisions. They will participate in all Board activities except for confidential school safety plan meetings, student disciplinary hearings, teacher disciplinary matters, executive/attorney-client meetings and will have the opportunity to offer a voiced opinion before every vote. They’ll also be able to bring up issues of importance for discussion among the Board.
- Represent all students within the district
- Attend and provide student opinions at School Board meetings
- Report major updates, including but not limited to student affairs and proposals, school activities, and educational issues, to the School Board
