5/21/2025
My daughter graduated in 2021, and her teachers and coaches remain a huge part of her life. Whether it's a recommendation for graduate school or having her to come back to speak to students or attending an alumni networking event, Govs is not your typical four-year high school stopover. It's a forever place.
5/7/2025
It was a great experience, though it was nearly 60 years ago, so its relevance today may be limited. I'm a long-time Trustee, so my previous ratings reflect my perspective in that role rather than as a student—clearly more recent than my graduation.

My son likes the school very much. He lives in the school and feel it as home . Everybody is so nice .
