Due to legislative action by the SC General Assembly, effective January 7, 2025, all personal electronic devices, including cell phone and smartwatches, are prohibited during the school day. Mitchell Road already had a policy in place prohibiting cell phone use during the school day. This policy now include smartwatches, which should be left at home or stored in your student's backpack 7:45 am to 2:15 pm. Our School Handbook has been updated to reflect this change in policy. Please refer to page 4 of our Student Handbook.

GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.
