Families can schedule time with individual teachers and staff. Please reserve only one conference per teacher and be mindful of the time so staff can meet with as many families as possible.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you at conferences!

College application season can be one of the most stressful times for students, and parents, too. We’re here to make the process smoother!

Join us for an interactive Common App Workshop on Tuesday, September 30, from 6:00–7:30 PM in the 3rd Floor Common Area of Clark Hall.

📌 What to Expect

• A counselor-led walkthrough of the Common Application, the platform GLHS students use to apply to college

• Hands-on support for students as they create their own Common App accounts and begin working on their applications

• Guidance for parents to better understand the process and how to support their students

💻 What to Bring
Students should bring their Chromebooks so they can follow along and get started on their applications in real time.

⚠️ Space is Limited
Please RSVP HERE to reserve your spot! This event will be capped due to space, so don’t wait.

Please join us for an informational meeting to learn about the application process and requirements for the National Honor Society. We will cover the four pillars of NHS—scholarship, service, leadership, and character—and answer any questions you may have.

To accommodate your schedule, we are offering two different meeting times. The content will be the same at both, so please plan to attend only one. We look forward to seeing you there!

Meeting Time:

• Tuesday, September 30th from 5:45-6:15 in the high school library

If you have any questions about the meeting, please reach out to NHS advisor, Ann Gleek (gleeka@gjps.org).

The Lions are wrapping up their Fall seasons and some are beginning their post-season play! Let's come together and cheer on the Lions! For all events, visit https://view.gogipper.com/page/3397440
