Headed to High School

Our high school graduations were not the only special ceremonies held across the district last week. GGUSD's ten intermediate schools also held eighth grade commencement ceremonies, to celebrate the completion of intermediate school and the transition to high school. Here comes the Class of 2021!

Supporting Our Teachers

GGUSD students are not the only ones completing important milestones in their education. Recently, we celebrated 60 GGUSD teachers from grades PK-12 who completed the Induction program or pathway to their credential. At our colloquium held earlier this month, we congratulated those teachers who were supported by our induction department, mentors and district administrators. Teachers reflected on their growth over the past two years learning with and from each other.

Lifelong Learning

This month, GGUSD's Lincoln Adult Education Center (LEC) held a special graduation ceremony at LEC to celebrate its 19 graduates. Many of the graduates are already taking community college classes. LEC's high school diploma program is WASC accredited. Congrats to our Lincoln Adult Education Center graduates.
