Our Educational Philosophy: At GSHS, we believe that teaching is not a solo endeavor—it is a collaborative effort that requires dedication, empathy, and a commitment to continuous improvement. We take inspiration from Ron Edmonds’ powerful statement: "We can, whenever and wherever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do this. Whether we do it or not must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we have not done it so far." We are committed to teaching every student, regardless of their background or challenges, and to changing their real-life chances through education.
