Good Morning. Today we introduce our 1st Grade Team: Mrs. Darby and Ms. Quebedeaux. They are eager to welcome their students to 1st Grade!


We are so excited to introduce our Kindergarten Team: Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Marcel, and Ms. Touchet!



Get ready to embark on an exciting journey as we follow the yellow brick road back to school! We are requesting the presence of local businesses, organizations, alumni, and members of the Grand Coteau and Arnaudville community to greet our students with encouraging words, cheers, and high fives.

As the 2023-2024 school year approaches, we'd like to introduce the Faces of GCES!
Allow us to introduce our new Secretary, Mrs. Oliney!!!

Today the GCES Instructional Leadership Team met for a planning session. The team defined the purpose of the team, the role of all team members, reviewed current school data, identified priority areas for the 2023-2024 school, and drafted a new Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Core Values. We can't wait to share this work with the rest of the GCES Community. Special Thanks to the Team!!!

Hey, Facebook friends, Happy Juneteenth! Today marks the day when slavery was finally abolished in the United States. It's a day of celebration, reflection and remembrance. It's important to teach our young children the importance of diversity, inclusivity and the significance of this day in our history. Let's celebrate together by spreading love, kindness and acceptance for all. Enjoy the day, everyone! #Juneteenth #DiversityandInclusion #UnityLoveKindness

Happy Father's Day to all of the Fathers of the GCES community! We hope today brings you all the joy and love you deserve.
