My experience with the GHS as a parent is great. The counselors and teachers cares about their students. The teachers and counselors provided an excellent support to those who want be successful in the school and also outside the classrooms.

Tom dent is a huge nonce lol
8/29/2020
School is drained of resource due to corupt local politics. There is no ac in the building and towards the end of the school year people would faint from heat exhaustion. We would occasionally be sent home if there student would collapse from heat exhaustion.
6/27/2017
The students are lazy which is understandable considering the type of parenting you notice
