We greet you with hope in our hearts, deep pride in our shared legacy, and a renewed commitment to the children and families of General James Gholson Middle School. Together—as educational, civic, and community leaders—we stand united at a pivotal moment in our community’s journey. Our purpose is clear: to strengthen GJGMS so that every student, regardless of zip code, race, or circumstance, is empowered to dream boldly, achieve greatly, and lead confidently.
Gholson is the heart of our community. When our scholars flourish, our neighborhoods thrive. When our children excel, our democracy deepens. In a world searching for models of equity, innovation, and justice, we are a national beacon—a place where students are not merely supported but celebrated, not merely seen but deeply known.
With shared purpose and unwavering belief in our scholars,
