Volunteer Information

The teachers, students and staff at Gilmer ISD achieve many accomplishments throughout any given school year. Many of these accomplishments would be impossible without the dedication of the volunteers who sacrifice their valuable time and efforts in support of Gilmer ISD. We constantly strive to develop and maintain a culture that promotes volunteerism within our district and campuses.

Volunteers help our classroom teachers by allowing them to focus on what is most important, TEACHING!
