I hated it. Simple as that. They didn’t teach me anything teachers who I thought I can trust only had a strong dislike for me and when I was being bullied by the “teachers pets” the teachers got involved and only made me hate my time in this school. I was bullied because of who I was as a person. But the times I did stand up for myself I was cyber bullied by several people who teachers deemed “great students” it got to the point where in my math class the teacher was having people come in to record the class. She had me removed from the class so no one can record me and put me in ISS for the duration of the class.

My son has a great team of teachers including speech and love how involved they have been especially with covid . They send activities through mail or I pick up at school so I can bring home hands on activities for him to work with over computer screen . They really have been doing such a great job with “hybrid” learning online during these difficult times . Teachers have been very communicative with me on how to improve when needed and the school even offers programs like free lunch pick up as well during this time

I currently attend GHS as a junior. I chose to come here, being from a neighboring town, and I think I made the best choice! We're not the best school in the state by any means academically, but you won't find a nicer bunch of people. The teachers are great, the students are friendly, and I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place. It feels like family. There are plenty of opportunities both in academics and activities, but you will have to search for them a bit. We have a bunch of different art and tech classes in a variety of disciplines (everything from CAD to sewing to chorus), and I've found all my academic classes engaging. You can also take classes with VHS. There aren't a lot of clubs, but you are likely to find something you like if you search. The one thing I don't really like is that all the clubs meet at the same time, during school on Fridays, and so it is difficult to join more than one. The school spirit here is almost palpable, especially around homecoming and the massive spring musical. My advice to those looking at GHS: -Actually read the Program of Studies. If you don't, you will miss out on a lot. -Just give us a try! We don't bite too much, promise.
