As graduation season approaches, Gadsden ISD reminds all seniors and their families that any outstanding fees and fines must be paid in full to be eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony. Schools are available to work with families on payment plans if needed. We encourage parents/guardians to contact their student’s campus as soon as possible to check for any outstanding balances. For questions or assistance, please reach out to your school’s administration. Ensuring all requirements are met will help make graduation a smooth and memorable experience for our students!
