I have attended Gibson County High School for the great majority of my high school career, but originally I attended another school. I can say with confidence that moving to GCHS was the right decision for me. GCHS provides excellent academics, a large variety of extracurriculars, friendly staff, and an array of helpful resources. Not only this, but GCHS caters to many different fields of interest aside from its traditional college readiness focus.

I truly have loved my time at Gibson County High School. The administration and teachers are outstanding at welcoming every student in with open arms. I have been able to be apart of student council which has led me to find my own voice to express. I would love to see more student involvement in extracurricular activities and overall school spirit. Being in High School does not always mean work, but also students can find themselves and new friends in sports, music, and art.

Gibson County High School has been a great part of the last three years of my career. The best experience I had behalf on would be that the teachers care for their students to succeed. On the other hand, I have not experienced a sufficient worst experience. One thing that I would change in the Gibson County Special School District would be the exaggeration between students and the drama inquired.
