I graduated in 2004. My experiences at GCHS prepared me for the outside world and my career in the military. I currently live in a large city in Florida. After graduating from a school like GCHS and living where i'm at now, I think GCHS is a safe and nurturing environment that fosters learning. At most, kids drinking at football games and other adolescent behaviors were the main concern. Compare that to to the Orlando-Orange County public school system with gangs, homicides, and children getting raped in the bathroom. Don't take the faculty, SMALL class sizes ( you don't know crowded until you've lived in a city-100+ kids in a class) or relatively safe location for granted. Every school has its blemishes, but I honestly couldn't have asked for a better high school experience or education.

Our school, Grayson Highlands School, in Troutdale, VA is a small community school with students taught by our neighbors, our friends and sometimes our family! The teachers are very dedicated to helping the students learn not just out of book, but leadership, integrity, manners, and many other traits that my not be achieved in the home. It is a great school with a lot of parental support!
