Announcing a special benefit concert in support of the Christian Service Center to Stock the Pantry! To make the night even more memorable, Ms. Michaelson’s art students at Gulf Shores Middle School will unveil their own creative takes on classic album covers—each one available for auction. It’s a fun, artistic twist that will add excitement and energy to an already incredible evening!

 

Congratulations and thank you to Tanya Hill, CNP Manager, and the entire GSCS CNP Team! The Health Department visited all three schools, and each one retained its outstanding 100% score.

The MakeWaves Monthly November 2025 is now available.

Gulf Shores City Schools is excited to welcome Phin, our new comfort dog, who will support students and staff across all three campuses. Phin is a 10-month-old Goldendoodle who has received extensive training from Smeraglia & Co. of Robertsdale. She will work closely with our Mental Health Coordinator, Director of Exceptional Education, and campus administrative teams to provide emotional support, reduce anxiety, and help foster a welcoming, positive environment for all students.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Mayor Robert Craft and his wife, Trudy, for generously donating Phin to our district. The idea to bring Phin to Gulf Shores City Schools came from Trudy Craft, and both she and Mayor Craft generously covered the cost of Phin and her training.

We are also grateful to Dr. Adam Langston and his wife, Dr. Niesje Langston, of Langston Animal Hospital, who will be providing complimentary veterinary care and food. We extend additional thanks to Coach Howe at GSHS and his wife, Laura, owners of Wag’N Wheels Mobile Dog Grooming, as Laura will be offering grooming services to ensure Phin is always well cared for. Assistant principal at GSMS, Ms. Boggus, will be Phin's caretaker.

“Phin represents our commitment to supporting the whole child,” Gulf Shores City Schools Superintendent Dr. Matt Akin said. “She will bring comfort, joy, and meaningful emotional support to students and staff across all campuses.”

To ensure every student has a comfortable experience, families are encouraged to notify their school’s front office if their child has a dog allergy or a fear of dogs so we can make appropriate accommodations. This standard practice helps us plan Phin’s campus visits thoughtfully and safely.

We look forward to the calming, supportive presence Phin will bring to Gulf Shores City Schools.
