📢 GMS Parent & Guardian Notice 💙
Dear BIG BLUE families,
To help ensure the safety of all students, outside food sales by students and/or staff are not permitted at Georgetown Middle School.
While we truly value and support our students’ entrepreneurial spirit, this guideline is necessary due to potential concerns such as allergic reactions, medical conditions, and overall food safety. In addition, allowing the sale of outside food items could result in issues for the school, as it creates liability concerns that we must avoid.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership in keeping our school environment safe, focused, and supportive for every student. 💙
– Principal Seth Hillman

🎮 Playing

At GMS BIG BLUE, we’re taking learning to a whole new level!

Mr. Barron has taken learning to a whole new level — and honestly, it should not be a surprise!

🔵 IT’S BIG BLUE, BABY! 🔵

At Georgetown Middle School, we’re serving up learning on a whole different level. Check this out 👇

Active Floor is an interactive, projector-based system that turns ordinary floors into exciting digital learning spaces. With ceiling-mounted projectors, motion-tracking cameras, and special floor mats, students can control educational games and activities using their feet and body movements. It encourages teamwork, movement, and hands-on learning all at the same time.

Now that’s what we call learning in motion at GMS! 💙

The future of GMS Softball is looking pretty strong over here! 💪🏾🥎
Let’s give a BIG BLUE shoutout to our 2026 JV Softball Roster for our 7th & 8th grade players at Georgetown Middle School!

🥎 Let’s show them some love and support!
