Repost from Crosby Parker, District Attorney: When you get a moment, please watch the video below. I’m incredibly proud of the IMPACT Mentor Program and the collaboration between the Boys & Girls Club, Gulfport, Harrison County, and Pass Christian School Districts. It has been amazing to see the positive impact this program is having on both the high school student mentors and the elementary school mentees. This is what investing in our young people and strengthening our community is all about! Check out the social post and video here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1JNLDjizFJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Setting sail on a brand-new year! ⚓️

From hallway reunions to getting right down to business in the classroom, our Commodores are off to an amazing start at GCMS. So proud of this community—let’s make this year our best one yet! 💙

We are officially back on campus at Gulfport Central Middle School, and our hearts are full seeing all of our students. We’re ready for a phenomenal year of learning, growing, and achieving together. 💙

Every piece comes together for a great school year! 🧩⚓️

We officially launched the new school year with our district-wide Essential Pieces convocation! Keynote speaker Dr. Adolph "Doc" Brown set an incredible tone for the day—using his signature blend of humor and heart to remind us of the power of leading with empathy and building genuine connections with every student.

Our educators and leaders spent the afternoon in targeted professional development breakout sessions, sharpening classroom strategies and equipping themselves to support student growth across all grade levels.

Superintendent Glen East closed out the day with inspiring words for the road ahead. The pieces are in place, and we can’t wait to welcome our Admirals back! 🎉⚓
