Darnell also said Schwenk 'gained invaluable experience' in 'behavior management, teacher evaluation, supervision and many other administrative duties that set him up for great success at GCMS.' Schwenk's contract is for three years with a starting salary of $92,000.
'This willingness to expand his experiences at another district and grade level allows him to bring in a diverse perspective to add to our team,' Darnell said. 'More importantly, Mr. Schwenk is a compassionate, hard-working human being who will serve our kids, coaches and community with a kind heart and high expectations.'
The Gibson City Melvin Sibley Schools also put out a Facebook post welcoming Schwenk into the new positions for the 2025-26 school year. He will officially start in his new roles on July 1.

Clemson vs. South Carolina 2025 game time announced, reactions to the early time slot

Clemson vs. South Carolina 2025 game time announced, reactions to the early time slot The kickoff time is set for Clemson's regular-season finale against rival South Carolina. The Tigers and Gamecocks will meet at noon on Friday, Nov. 29 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, with the game airing on either ABC or ESPN. It's the third time in the past four years the Palmetto Bowl will be played at noon. Clemson will look to bounce back from last year's 17-14 loss at home, a game that ended the Tigers' seven-game win streak in the rivalry. Dabo Swinney's team will also aim to continue its road dominance in Columbia, where Clemson has won five straight dating back to 2015. With a win, the Tigers would secure six straight victories at South Carolina for the first time since a stretch from 1989 to 1999. The Gamecocks haven't beaten Clemson at home since 2013, and the Tigers will be eager to keep it that way this fall. Along with the announcement of the game time came reactions. Like last year, people are mixed on the noon game. Contact us @Clemson_Wire on X, and like our page on Facebook for ongoing coverage of Clemson Tigers news and notes, plus opinions.

The SEC reveals TV windows for Auburn football

The SEC reveals TV windows for Auburn football Mark your calendars! The SEC has officially revealed the TV windows for every Auburn game The football season is almost here, and it is time to begin planning for roadtrips to the Plains and beyond to watch the Auburn Tigers this fall. Weeks after major networks revealed the start times for Auburn's first three games of the season, the SEC has now released the television windows for the remaining nine games on Auburn's schedule to better prepare fans for the season. Auburn's start times are broken down into four categories: early (11 a.m. – noon CT), afternoon (2:30 – 3:30 p.m. CT), night (5 – 7 p.m. CT), and flex (2:30 – 3:30 p.m. CT or 5-7 p.m. CT). Several notable windows are its game with Georgia at home (night), Arkansas on the road (early), and the Iron Bowl against Alabama (flex). Auburn's SEC opener at Oklahoma gets the flex treatment on Sept. 20, with the following week at Texas A&M beginning in the afternoon window at Kyle Field. The Tigers' home opener at Georgia will be under the lights at Jordan-Hare Stadium, with two of their next three games against Missouri and Kentucky being labeled as "flex." The game in-between the Missouri Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats at Arkansas will be an early kick. The next two games, against Vanderbilt in Nashville, and Mercer at home, will kick in the afternoon. Auburn vs. Vanderbilt will begin in the afternoon time frame while the game against Mercer will begin at 1 p.m. CT and will air on SEC Network. Finally, the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium is flexed. However, as the trend has shown recently, fans can expect the game to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT. The time and date for Auburn's first three games were revealed last month. Auburn will begin the season in Waco, Texas on Friday, Aug. 29 against the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. CT on FOX. The next two games, against Ball State and South Alabama, respectively, will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT and 11:45 a.m. CT.

HC Sean McVay confirms Steelers' Aaron Rodgers could have signed with Rams

HC Sean McVay confirms Steelers' Aaron Rodgers could have signed with Rams Early offseason Aaron Rodgers to the Rams rumors have begun to resurface — and HC Sean McVay set the record straight. On Wednesday, Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt asked McVay to clarify what really happened between the Rams and Rodgers this offseason — and this was his response: "I think our first priority, which was consistently communicated, was let's work something out with Matthew [Stafford]. We were very fortunate that it worked out that way. If that wasn't able to occur, then [signing Rodgers] was definitely a conversation and a possibility for us," McVay admitted. "I have a ton of respect for his body of work. I've gotten to know Aaron and really enjoy the conversations — the approach and the way he thinks about the game and in life. So, that was a possibility, but our first priority was always to get Matthew back." Pittsburgh was considered a major favorite to land Stafford when trade speculation surrounding the Rams QB ran rampant — before he ultimately signed a massive extension to remain in Los Angeles. It's crazy to imagine that there exists a possibility where Rodgers potentially signed with the Rams — and the Steelers may have been able to land Stafford.
