I like Gaston because it is a smaller school. I would like to see more clubs and programs like a math club, or JROTC.
11/4/2019
Having the worst experience ever trying to enroll my son into this school. You'd think this was some kind of Ivy League school. We recently moved and this school is the closest to us. My son has been out of school for nearly a month now dealing with this school's enrollment standards. My husband and I are very frustrated.

It is a small school were everyone knew everyone by their first name including the teachers. I would like to see the dress code change. I think students should be able to express their selves.
