Wow! We have so much to celebrate at GHS. The Building/Construction team led by Bryan Waters and Robert Smith traveled to Greenville last week and took first place in Teamworks division. The four man team that built the "little house" included Brad Keisler,Cesar Martinez, Zeke Kyzer, and Tony Marshall.
I would also like to congratulate the Gilbert Rugby Club on their State Championship. Coach Frontz led the team to beat Chapin for the "State Cup". They will represent the league, as arranged by their director, at the State House and will play in the Southern Regions at Furman University this weekend. Good luck guys!
It is Prom Week and we are so excited! Parents can preview the prom on Saturday evening from 6-7. I am sure you will be very impressed.
I am glad to be a Gilbert Indian!

Curriculum Night
Our Annual Curriculum Night was a huge success, especially for the rising 9th graders aka "Class of 2014". A huge thank you to Mrs. Covington and her focus team along with the guidance department for planning and preparing the evening that kicks off registration for 2010-11 school year.
Earlier in the evening, the teachers had dinner and fellowship before setting up their displays. I love spending time with the teachers at GHS. The bonding and friendship among our faculty and staff is so important in being a professional learning community and family. They are truly outstanding educators. My cup runneth over. Thanks again parents and students for spending the evening with us!

21st Century Vision for GHS
In the last four months, the Gilbert High School curriculum focus team has been researching 21st century schools. We are diligently working on re-writing our mission, vision, and belief statements to reflect 21st century learning. The team broke up into sub-committees, who focused on each concept; mission, vision, beliefs, and motto. We are currently completing the final touches to present to the faculty and the school improvement council. The faculty and staff at Gilbert High School are very excited about the innovative technology, scheduling, and course offerings that we will be able to offer students in the future. Please look out for these opportunities when the registration process begins. Remember that we love your children and want them prepared for either post secondary education or the work force. We will do Whatever it Takes!

Happy New Year!
I would like to wish all of our Gilbert friends and family a Happy New Year! We hope to continue academic excellence in 2010.
It is so hard to believe it is 2010, but here we are. We have a busy month ahead of us. End-Of-Course (EOCEP) testing begins on Wednesday, so if your student is taking English 1, Algebra 1, Algebra 1 Part 2, Physical Science, Biology, or US History, then they will be taking an EOCEP exam. Remember that this test counts as a final exam which is 20% of the final grade for the course.
We also have exams coming up January 12, 13, and 14. Again, the final exam counts as 20% of the final grade for the course. If you would like to see the district exam schedule, there is a link on our home web page.
Seniors who are passing a course can exempt the final exam for that semester course. If they do choose to exempt the exam, they will not be required to attend that class during exam days. Please keep in mind that seniors still have to be signed in and out of school via normal procedure. Many times, seniors get a little confused about embedded classes. Embedded classes are year round (180 days) and they need to be present to take the embedded mid-term exam which counts 10% of their grade. Please make sure that your student is present for their embedded midterm exams.
As you can see, we will be closing out another semester at GHS. The spring semester will begin after the Martin Luther King Holiday when we return to school on January 19. Please contact teachers or Student Services for any more information.
