We look forward to seeing our GOC families at the Family Fall Festival tonight. A special thank you to the Student Leadership Team (SLT), Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), and our faculty and staff for organizing this event.
Parents, please be aware that there are several important testing dates that are coming up in the next few weeks for students in grades 5 (IOWA), 8 (PSAT), and 9-12 (Interims).
