My experience with Gulfport high was a fulfilling experience that prepared me for college experiences and expectations. The teachers are always nice and will help with any problem with a great solution. The School is filled with a great support system that allows a relief of stress. Counselors, teachers, and friends that you meet along the way ,creates a support system that you can rely on even when you leave and graduate as an admiral.

I like the fact of how involved my teachers were in my education. They helped me make my decision to enroll in college and further my education. I only wish that they had more classes on financial literacy, something we will need after we graduate school.

Gulfport High School is dedicated to raising the standards of education, not only within the state, but on par with the greatest schools in the Nation! I've never considered myself an academic, in fact, I couldn't stand High Shcool! It was boring and I felt the education I was receiving was complete...
