Distinguished Young Women of Gordon County

A special thanks to Amanda Black for speaking with the DYW of Gordon County Class of 2026 participants today. She encouraged the girls to Be Studious by being life long learners and striving to be their best in order to serve others. She emphasized being respectful to themselves and others by being intentional and an active listener. She also discussed social media pros and cons and making adjustments to establish a positive change.

Gordon Central Performing Arts students impressed audiences with their performances over the weekend. Their One Act play, Sweeny Todd, will be presented again on Saturday, October 26th at 7pm and Sunday, October 27th at 3pm, highlighting the talents of Sadie Holmes, DYW Gordon County 2025 Talent Winner and First Honoree, and DYW Gordon County 2026 participants Anna Caroline Parker, Jamirrah Thomas, and Riley McEntire.
