Summer School
Dear Red Baron Parents and Students,
Gates County High School will be holding face-to-face summer credit recovery sessions. A call was sent out on Wednesday evening to notify parents that their student is eligible for summer credit recovery. The session dates and times are as follows:

During this time, students will be offered the opportunity to recover a credit(s).
