Peninsula taxpayers currently send up to $1,000,000 annually to other towns when students attend school elsewhere. Town contracts would keep these local dollars and ensure students receive a top-tier education just minutes from home.

GSA has established itself as a statistical outlier in educational achievement, ranking in the top 10% nationally among rural schools for college placement quality and in the top 5% for schools with graduating classes of 60-75 students. GSA students earned $750,000 in scholarships in 2025. We would like to continue this longstanding tradition of academic excellence by keeping GSA the exceptional school it is. We know that contracts will not happen without community support, and we are prepared to respond to enrollment ups and downs; however, we feel it is important to try and stabilize enrollment- for our peninsula’s families, for our community’s economy, for our collective future.
