I have had a great time at my school. The teachers and the staff really care about the students. We are like family here at Gautier High School. My worst experience will be leaving everyone when I graduate. So many fond memories such as football and baseball team making the playoffs. My 1st grand slam in softball. I would love for my school to be the best high school in the state and excel on all levels.
