Gyger Way - remains CLOSED for the summer

Please note that the Gyger Way entrance to the high school, which provides access to the pool, will be closed for the remainder of the summer due to ongoing construction projects. However, the high school remains accessible via Campus Drive (GCA side). Please follow all posted construction signs for safe navigation on campus.

School Calendar Reminder

Over the years, the school calendar has followed a consistent pattern: if there is a day off during a given week, the Wednesday of that week is a full day; otherwise, Wednesdays are early release days.

This year is a bit different. You will notice that there are two Wednesdays—January 7 and February 25—that are full days, even though they do not follow this usual pattern. Please note that this is not a mistake or a typo.
Calendar for January with marked dates and events listed.The bolded outline around the 7th indicates that there is a recognized major religious holiday. Those are listed on the second sheet of the calendar.
