What do you like most about GSA?
I love how personal the experience is for our students. GSA is a school where the faculty and staff are truly able to get to know our kids and truly see them for who they are. Our teens are becoming the citizens of tomorrow and GSA gives them the structure and access to the knowledge that they will need.
What program is especially meaningful to you?
ISIP! I love that our school offers Juniors and Seniors an opportunity to explore and take a deep dive with something they are curious about.
How important is GSA to the larger community?
It’s critical! A community with a high school as dynamic as GSA’s benefits everyone!
Is there an aspect of our mission or vision that you are especially passionate about?
“Our many academic and experiential programs foster a love of knowledge, inspire creativity, instill self-confidence, encourage good character, and prepare each graduate for a purposeful life in a changing world.”
I think about this passage a lot and I truly admire the approach and care that GSA takes. It’s incredibly unique and we are so lucky to have GSA as our local high school.
