Georgia State School Superintendent Richard Woods visited Gordon County Schools today to recognize two local schools for their academic accomplishments, honoring one for literacy achievement and another for excellence in mathematics.
During the visit at Red Bud Middle School, Woods presented Tolbert Elementary School with a Literacy Leader banner and added updated recognition pins to Red Bud Middle School’s Math Leader banner.
Tolbert Elementary School received the Literacy Leader designation for exceptional growth in third-grade Gateway Reading scores. Principal Dr. Rebecca Owen accepted the banner alongside members of the school’s third-grade teaching team, recognizing their efforts to support student literacy and improve reading achievement.
Red Bud Middle School was recognized as a Math Leader in High School Outstanding Achievement for the performance of its eighth-grade students on the 9th Grade Algebra End-of-Course Georgia Milestones exam. Principal Chad Moore accepted the updated banner pins along with Assistant Principal Becky Hulsey, Instructional Lead Teacher Jackie Cascio, and Sandra Cash, the school’s eighth-grade honors math teacher.
Also attending the recognition were Gordon County Schools Superintendent Alice Mashburn, Board of Education Chairperson Charlie Walraven, and Board Member Eddie Hall, who joined in celebrating the accomplishments of both schools. 🏫📚➗
