Good school that offers a variety of different classes. Would like more help in college preparation. This would help students to get a good direction in what they need in order to obtain college credit and how to do it while they are in school.

GPHS is a great school that has highly motivated educators and staff that encourage students to strive to be all they can be. There's many sports, activities and clubs offered. I have been a multi sport athlete and got more involved in the last couple years. The environment is very safe and the culture is warm and accepting of all. It's been a great school for me and my family has grown up here and many generations have attended GPHS with pride.

School officials care more about targeting and singling out 'perceived problem' students then education. NEVER have I seen a school so detention and suspension happy.

As a former student of GPHS I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade my experience there for anything. Not only did participation in their excellent Orchestra Program, Cheerleading, Golf team and student body aid in the procurement of a full scholarship to Columbia University - once there I was as p...
