= History

=
In 1901, Gadsden's first public high school, Disque High School, was opened at the corner of Chestnut and College Streets. It was named in honor of Gadsden City School Board chairman and Judge John H. Disque. In 1924, it became Disque Junior High School when the larger Gadsden High School was opened. The original DJHS site was demolished in 1962, and the Gadsden Post Office was built in its place. DJHS moved into the then-new Tracy Street building for the 1962–63 school year, serving grades 7 through 9. In the 1980s, Disque Junior High School was renamed Disque Middle School and began serving grades 6 through 8; grade 9 shifted to Gadsden High School.
On January 12, 2006, the Gadsden City Board of Education voted to rename Disque Middle School to Gadsden Middle School, beginning in the 2006–07 school year. This name change coincided with the consolidation of Gadsden City's three high schools at the time―Emma Sansom High School, Gadsden High School, and Litchfield High School―into a single Gadsden City High School, as well as the associated relocation and renaming of both General Forrest Middle School (to Emma Sansom Middle School) and Cory Middle School (to Litchfield Middle School).




Athletics and activities


Gadsden Middle students and teams are called the Tigers, and the official school colors are orange and black. Sports teams include boys' and girls' basketball, football, and cheerleading. The GMS Tiger Band offers marching and concert opportunities, both in class and outside of school, including working with the Gadsden City Titan Band and helping with the Mid South Marching Band Festival. The GMS Tiger Quiz Bowl team competes regionally, state-wide, and nationally.
