Greene County Middle School

📣 Meet the Newest Member of Our GCMS Team – Mr. Jacob Gorman! 📣

Please help us welcome Jacob Gorman, who will be joining us this year as our new 8th Grade Social Studies Teacher! 🏫📚

Jacob is originally from Ames, Iowa and graduated from Iowa State University (Go Cyclones!). Teaching runs in his blood—he comes from a family of educators and was inspired by the incredible impact his former teachers had on his life. Now, he's excited to pay it forward and make a difference for his own students!

Outside the classroom, you’ll find Jacob golfing, reading, working out, or enjoying the great outdoors. ⛳📖💪🌳
He has a brother who is also a social studies teacher and a sister who works as a school counselor—education clearly runs deep in the Gorman family!

Jacob is most excited to meet his colleagues and work together to grow as a school community to help every student succeed.

Missing a bike? 🚲 There’s a couple lonely bikes here at the middle school that’ haven been hanging around for quite some time — especially the green one that looks like it's moved in for good! 😂 If your student is missing a bike, stop by and check to see if it’s theirs. Let’s get them home where they belong!

First of all, thank you to all of the students who came to MS AP this school year. Also, thank you to the parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, and anybody else who helped get their student to the school in the mornings. The motivation and dedication to be at the school before anyone else is something to be celebrated and admired. That type of work ethic will help bring them success both in sports and in life. We also want to give a special thanks to this year’s 8th graders. When we first started MS AP last school year, the largest group of students who initially bought in to what we were doing was this group, along with some others. A culture of showing up, having fun, and working hard has been established, and this group of 8th graders has played a huge part in that. We wish them the best as they continue their journey at the high school level, and we look forward to all of their successes. Another special thanks goes out to Mr. Merk as he will no longer be teaching at GCMS in the fall. He was a huge part of getting our MS AP program started and keeping it going strong. His passion for helping kids will continue to benefit the students of GCMS for years to come. We are lucky to get to keep him as our HS Girls Track coach. Below is information on our summer AP schedule. Any student entering 6-8th grades are welcome to attend. We will have AP on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7:00. Doors will open at 6:45. We will continue to use our Remind page to communicate if there are changes to our schedule or any additional information. If you aren’t already on it, please join that page which is linked below. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Remind: https://www.remind.com/join/msap2425
