Welcome Back to GMSM!
Welcome back to a new school year! My name is Dr. Angela Broughton, and I am honored to serve as the 7th-grade Assistant Principal. With over 30 years of experience in education, I am excited to continue working alongside our students, staff, and families at GMSM.
I have served students and educators in Georgia, Florida, and international settings, and these experiences have taught me that when families, staff, and students work together—with high expectations and strong support—every child can succeed.
As we begin the school year, I am dedicated to building strong partnerships with families and staff to foster a positive, safe, and engaging environment that helps every student thrive. Let’s work together for a successful and fulfilling school year!

Enjoy your fall break! Rest up, recharge, and get ready to dive into Unit 2 when we return. We will be jumping straight into Edgar Allan Poe’s "Eldorado" and William Butler Yeats’s "The Song of Wandering Aengus"—two incredible poems about questing, longing, and the search for ideal worlds.
Have a fantastic break, and come back ready to analyze some great literature!

7th Grade Social Studies Update (Unit 2: Geography of Southwest Asia): We are exploring the geography, resources, and culture of Southwest Asia (Middle East). This week, students will focus on:

Population Density & Geography: Analyzing how climate and physical features, such as deserts and rivers, shape population density, determining where people settle and why.
Ethnic vs. Religious Groups: Understanding the key distinctions between ethnic groups (shared cultural background, language, and history) and religious groups (shared belief systems), and identifying the prominent groups across the region.
