Gainesville City School System

Oh happy day!

We are officially ON tonight at City Park Big Red; see y’all there

Thank you Big Red for an incredible 2025-2026 school year. Enjoy your summer; we'll see you soon.

The Gainesville school system's STAR student and his chosen Gainesville High School teacher were recognized and honored at tonight's final board meeting of the 2025-2026 school year. Tayler Nguyen, who will speak at Friday's commencement as valedictorian of the Class of 2026, will attend Yale University on a full scholarship in the Fall. Dr. Nicki Collins, who teachers science, is his STAR teacher

Our school year's greatest celebration takes place this Friday as Gainesville High School graduates its Class of 2026. We ask that all who plan to attend follow our protocols without exception so that we can follow through with properly focusing on honoring and recognizing the best of our school system on their special night.

La celebración más importante de nuestro año escolar tendrá lugar este viernes, cuando la promoción de 2026 de la preparatoria Gainesville se gradúe. Les pedimos a todos los que planeen asistir que sigan nuestros protocolos sin excepción para que podamos centrarnos como es debido en honrar y reconocer a los mejores estudiantes de nuestro sistema escolar en esta noche tan especial.

Gainesville High School's newest athletic facility gives Red Elephant baseball on-site amenities that truly make Ivey-Watson Field the home of Big Red baseball.

A referendum to continue providing ESPLOST funding (ESPLOST VII) is on the ballot and up for vote May 19.

The 2026 recipients of a Gainesville High School honorary diploma were revealed and recognized at a luncheon last week in the Sammy Smith Media Center on the campus of Gainesville High School. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Robert Bruner and Mr. Bryson Worley. The two men will be formally recognized during Gainesville’s commencement ceremony May 22 at City Park Stadium.

Dr. Bruner, a dentist in Gainesville for more than 35 years, has spent decades providing free dental care to those in need through the Good News Clinics. He is also well-known for leading Boy Scout Troop 16 where he helped more than 250 young men from our area reach the rank of Eagle Scout.

Worley spent 15 years at Gainesville High School, first as a special education teacher, then as assistant principal. On top of his work in the office, Worley headed up the Red Elephants’ boys golf program, which he led to eight region championships and two state championships.

Our community's relationship to City Park Stadium runs deep. It's unique not just to this area, but the state as a whole thanks in part to its location, but more so for the tradition it houses and the legends who've called it home. Bobby Gruhn Field at City Park Stadium and the Walt Snelling Pressbox therein was made even better thanks to the monies collected through ESPLOST VI. ESPLOST VII is up for vote May 19.

ESPLOST VII is on the ballot May 19
