On July 28 & 29, GSCS teamed up with Wellstar EMS, Spalding County Fire, Spalding EMA, and Griffin-Fire Rescue to provide Cardiac Emergency Response training for teams from every school/campus in the district. Each team member received their CPR/AED certification and an invaluable experience in scenario-based drills.

For the 2025-2026 school year, all GSCS middle and high schools will continue implementing a clear bookbag policy. The entire bookbag should be transparent, clear plastic or see-through mesh, allowing the contents inside the bookbag to be known. Small purses (that are not clear) are allowed but should be smaller than 5 inches by 9 inches. Lunch boxes that are not clear are also allowed but should only be used to transport lunch.

Griffin-Spalding County Schools (GSCS) Athletics has established a partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a national non-profit working to provide all youth and high school athletes a positive, character-building sports experience.

The partnership provides GSCS access to PCA’s training for coaches, sports parents, student-athletes, and administrators, through live group workshops, online courses, and additional online resources, such as follow-up tips and reminders for using sports as a positive youth development tool.

GSCS District Athletic Director Bill Stikes said, “GSCS believes that sports are a unique opportunity to teach our students life skills such as hard work, perseverance, discipline and character. “Our partnership with PCA will help empower coaches, parents and student-athletes by giving them tools to encourage positive student development. We look forward to hosting our first coach workshops this fall and will provide additional resources to students and families throughout the year.”
