GCMS FAMILY RESOURCE AND YOUTH SERVICE CENTER
The Leitchfield Family Resource and Youth Service Center may be reached by calling the Grayson County Middle School at (270) 259-4175. Our normal operating hours are Monday thru Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) were established by the Kentucky Legislature as a part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) in 1990. The primary goal of FRYSCs is to assist academically at-risk students to succeed in school by helping to minimize or eliminate non-cognitive barriers to learning. The Family Resource & Youth Service Center at GCMS is open to all GCMS students and their families.
