On July 24, the Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) Back to School Celebration brought all 1400+ staff together for a motivational kick-off to the 2025-26 school year at Oak Hill Church. Read the news release at https://5il.co/3mkym
This morning, our staff joined the rest of the district for the GSCS Education Celebration—and what a way to kick off the year! We started with an energizing performance from the Griffin High School Drumline (we even spotted at least one former Colt keeping the beat!).
From there, we were inspired by an incredible guest speaker, cheered on some amazing GSCS students who took the stage with confidence, and celebrated outstanding educators. Our very own Mrs. Candy Mann was recognized as Cowan Road Elementary’s Teacher of the Year—she truly walks the walk every day for our students!
After the celebration, we headed back to CRE and wrapped up the morning with our annual staff photo. It’s going to be a great year at Cowan Road, and we’re ready to give it our all!
