Great school. Awesome teachers. Awesome sports. Great coaches
A lovely school. Several generations of my family, including myself, have gone here. My nephew is currently enrolled in 8th grade.
I am a Junior in high school and every single year of my school career I have had to move schools once if not more. When I arrived at Gentry Middle School, I had been told rumors that the folks there had not worn shoes and rode tractors to school. I soon found out that was not the case. Although they are not 100% redneck, they are 100% perfect. Just thinking of my days at Gentry bring tears to my eyes. I would do anything to return to my 8th grade days for just 1 day. During the first month, all of the homerooms had the assignment to write a song for the school. I remember asking my teacher if it was supposed to be a positive or negative song. I was so bitter for leaving my other school, just like every other move I had experienced, and I have not even come from a military family. She soon jerked me in the hall and had a come to Jesus meeting with me. She explained about how proud she was about her school and the depth of pride she had in that school, I didn't understand then, but I have am proud to say that I join her in the same level. The year was real bumpy for me at home but, I always enjoyed waking up and coming to school. My math teacher was my second mother. My reading teacher was my coach. My P.E. teachers were my stress relief. My science teacher was my best friend. Still to this day I stay in touch with my PLTW teacher. The student body, well, family doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about them. That school gave me a lot. It gave me hope, determination, love, strength, motive, and most important, they gave me a plan. They taught me that dreaming is not enough. If you wake up, you can either go back to sleep and chase your dreams, or wake up and make them happen. I went to them thinking they were nothing and I left them making me something. One day, by accident, I was asked to take off my Christian T-shirt due to a mistake. Administration mixed up the staff and student policies. The next day, I walked into school, like 5 minutes late, I walked into the gym, and there sat all the 8th graders and the Principle y before due to being at county office for staff meetings. I walked in, all the kids staring at me, when the Principle turned around and looked at me. She ran up to me and dismissed the students. She ran to try to catch my step-dad before he left the campus. She was extremely apologetic for the mistake that had taken place the day before by another staff member. She personally held a assembly in the morning for all 8th graders, because they are all the ones who knew about the incident, to formally apologize on the schools behalf, AND I WAS LATE!!! Once we entered her office and she called my step-dad, I went to class and my step-dad showed up so she could have a face-to-face apology about the mistake. As I arrived to class, walking down the halls, there was not one person that I saw that didn't have a Christian t-shirt on. I was astonished. Everyone had come together for a cause that they believed, in a way that was non violent and undisrupttive. Between the strength they gave me when I was down to nothing and God, I truly believe I can achieve the impossible. Actually, I know I can. Because I already have. I turned a group of 8th graders who would have never come together, God and I turned into unity. I honestly believe I was put in that school, in that year, in those moments for a reason. There is no other middle school that I would trust my child in. I know this by experience. If you are moving into the area, I STRONGLY suggest J. Sam Gentry Middle School.
