SGCMS girls and dads, we hope you will join us for our annual Daddy Daughter Dance on February 6th at 6:30PM hosted by the SGCMS Band! Dads, come get your picture made with your daughter, dance, and make everlasting memories! Registration is $25 due by February 2nd. Forms are coming home this week.
This week's #GibsonCountyKind encourages us to embrace our mistakes with kindness. It reminds us to own up to our wrongdoings and simply say, "I’m sorry." There's a lovely quote that highlights how choosing kindness is always better than insisting on being right, ensuring we feel "right" in our hearts every time. Admitting our mistakes helps build trust with others, and we are invited to consider how we can be gentle and kind to ourselves when we slip up. Let’s spread some kindness!

Students in Mrs. Byrd's class are learning about Natural Selection. The focus for the lesson was, "How do natural selection and inherited variations influence a population?" Students learned about genetic drift and how it is a mechanism of evolution that changes traits because of chance. Students then worked with a partner and rolled die to model the process of genetic drift.





SGCMS offers our sincere appreciation to Officer Antonio Bufford for his dedication to the students and staff of SGCMS!

Today during House Competition, students were asked to consider “How will you be Gibson County Kind in 2026?” Students worked within their chapters to create posters answering this question. One poster was submitted by each chapter for judging. Our winners were: Most Aesthetic- Onyx, Most Creative- Amazonite, Most Impactful- Monsoons, Best Incorporation of House/Chapter in Design- Phoenix, Best Overall- Opal. Thanks to all our students for thinking about how they can be #GibsonCountyKind in 2026!










Congrats to SGCMS for receiving the TN State Department of Education's distinction of being an "A Rated" school for the 2024-2025 school year. SGCMS also received a "Level 5" distinction in the areas of Student Achievement and Student Academic Growth. This would not have occurred without the tireless efforts of our students, teachers, staff, and the larger SGCMS community.
