Forty-four WV counties have school levies in place. With approval of a 60% levy, Greenbrier County will rank 36th amonng those counties in taxpayer contribution to education. Forty-four WV counties have school levies in place. Learn more about the school levy by attending an informational forum on 9/19 (WGMS) or 9/26 (EGMS).
The arts are an essential part of a complete education. Students of all ages benefit from artistic learning, innovative thinking, and creativity. GCS celebrates National Arts in Education Week to recognize this impact and honor our arts educators and community arts partners. #ArtMatters
