As we prepare to begin the 2025-2026 school year, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. The Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) is committed to creating a secure and supportive environment in all of our schools. We are implementing several important safety enhancements across our district.
Classroom Emergency Bags:
All classrooms in GSCS will be equipped with a standard emergency Go-Kit to help ensure staff are prepared in case of an emergency.
Security Monitors in Elementary Schools:
Beginning this school year, all elementary schools will have Security Monitors provided by Synergy Security Services. They will work closely with our staff to maintain a safe school environment.
Open Gate Metal Detectors in Middle and High Schools:
To enhance school safety, we will be using Open Gate Metal Detectors in all our middle and high schools. These devices will replace the previous Evolv system and are designed to improve efficiency. All students will be screened using the Open Gate system upon arrival on campus.
Increased School Resource Officer Presence:
Each high school in our district will now be staffed with two School Resource Officers (SROs). These officers play a critical role in promoting safety, building relationships with students and responding swiftly to any security concerns that may occur.
We appreciate your support and cooperation as we take these steps to ensure a safe learning environment for every student.

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!
