Blueprint in Action

Each month of the 2023-24 school year, GCPS spotlights one of the strategic priorities or Portrait of a Graduate competencies by sharing the stories of two clusters—highlighting their classrooms, notable events, community insights, achievements, community service projects, student organizations, volunteer efforts, and more.


GCPS students and staff innovate by translating original thinking into viable solutions. They use their imagination to transcend traditional rules and patterns to create new ideas and approaches to problem-solving, and embrace learning from diverse sources and experiences to use resources creatively and efficiently.


This month, Seckinger cluster was featured as GCPS dived into how we utilize Resourcefulness at SKG. Be sure to check out the article and video linked below.
