GT Leadership 1 & PSAT
GT 1 students recently took the PSAT on October 15th, marking an important milestone in their academic journey. OC is proud to celebrate their hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Leadership is a skill that can be nurtured and developed, and our team-building activities provide an excellent opportunity for students to strengthen these abilities. This season, GT Leadership students have been actively engaged in Sphero chariot races, personality assessments, skill-building and time management exercises, and public speaking practice. All designed to help them grow as confident and capable leaders.
Toy Box Leadership book study continues with the Army Men Challenge

Stay tuned for details on how you can join us in giving back to our community. Letβs work together to create a positive impact!
GT Mentorship Program (ISM)
The GT Mentorship Program (ISM) provides students with valuable insight into their chosen fields, but it also nurtures relationships that will impact their futures in profound ways. The bond between mentors and mentees is a testament to the power of guidance, mentorship, and the exchange of knowledge.

Nichols Buddies
We're thrilled to kick off Nichols Buddies, a heartwarming program connecting OC GT students with their new Nichols buddies. π€ Through this initiative, students will build meaningful friendships, share experiences, and learn from one another. We believe this connection will be invaluable for everyone involved.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Rigby, Nichols incredible counselor, for overseeing this wonderful program and making it all possible. We can't wait to see all the amazing memories that will be created! πβ¨
