The new policy includes ‘No Cell Bell to Bell' for grades 9-12. Our high schools have been operating ‘No Cell Bell to Bell’ last school year, and this policy will formalize these approaches designed to promote learning through reduced distractions and increased focus.

At his final meeting, the GPS Governing Board celebrated Dr. McCord for fostering an open, transparent governance culture between district administration, families, and the community.
“The culture of this district is relationships,” commented Dr. McCord. “We can have goals, we can have strategies, and we can have excellent test scores, and we can have missions, but none of that matters if we don’t have a heart.”
