Martin Luther King Jr. was speaking at Stanford University in 1967 when he uttered the now famous "The time is always right to do right."

We honor and celebrate him today with a national holiday, but to truly honor him is to do "right" daily: how will you start today?

Maintenance & Operations has been working hard to clear campuses (a big red shoutout to that team), but to be on the safe side because we still have ice in various locations, everybody needs to be a little late to school & work tomorrow.

We are a grateful Gainesville #GoBigRed

Mr. Thompson held season football tickets for 77 years and will be sorely missed when his Red Elephants hit Bobby Gruhn Field on Aug. 15 for the first game of 2025.

The Red Kingdom stands with the Thompson family in their time of mourning ♥️🙏

For your patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

We look forward to hearing from our Herd #GoBigRed

“Their commitment to our school, their passion for their work, and their unwavering support for our students and staff make them more than deserving of the Hero of the Herd award."

As part of National School Bus Safety Week, today is School Bus Drivers’ Appreciation Day.

To those who take the utmost care when taking care of our students, thank you isn’t enough. Big Red’s bus drivers go above and beyond and should be celebrated #GoBigRedBusDrivers

A high school diploma is a life necessity. Our drive force is the knowledge that the minute our students walk across the state on Bobby Gruhn Field in May, a world of infinite possibilities awaits. We are proud, but not satisfied #GoBigRed
