Throughout my four years at George Washing Highschool I have created great connections with different people. I have been challenged with rigorous courses through the IB program. The IB program allowed me to grow as an individual which is something I enjoyed about this high school. I would like to see better community at this school and better lunch options.

My daughter is going into her Junior year and i am happy to say she has never been in any kind trouble. I believe the way we raise our kids that's how they will behave in school and every where! I appreciate the job principal Mr. Gallick is doing in improving our school and neighborhood! Thank you!
