Gibson Southern has been a great school for myself and husband as well as my 2 children. He has given us all kind of opportunities instead and outside of the classroom.

The best part of my experience was being involved in the history academic team, spell bowl, swim team, and theater department. The lack of diversity in that school is embarrassing and I would like to see change inflicted.
