From our Principal
Happy Friday, GCHS Parents,
This week, we held our last all staff meeting for the year. During our time together, we set our eyes on all that God has done for GCHS this past school year. Remembering what He brought us through, brought us to, and taught us, led to rejoicing, mourning, and all of it in between. There has been no doubt that God has done mighty things, and that we have grown closer to Him as a staff because of it.
Allow me to encourage you, parents, to do this same exercise with your teenager before summer hits. As you know, stereotypical teenage angst can allow for our students to focus on the negative/what could have been, instead of having a heart of gratitude for what God has done. Take some intentional time as a family to praise God for how he worked this past school year. He is worthy of our praise.
For such a time as this,
