Opportunity to Offset the Cost of Tuition
|
|
We are in the process of planning transportation needs for the 2020-2021 school year. The bus drivers who have driven for the school over the past several years will not be returning, so we will need to find new drivers. Driving opportunities will include the Waynesboro bus route, field trips, and some shuttling of students from campus to campus or to the GCS Activities Center.
To drive the bus you must possess a CDL license and a passenger bus endorsement. These credentials can be obtained online through the DMV website. If you are interested in driving for the school or know someone who might be interested, call Randy Knight for more details.

avorite memories:
When I got pulled up to play with the varsity basketball team during my sophomore year, and I scored my first-ever varsity points with a three-pointer, and the crowd and my teammates went crazy. I also enjoyed playing four square at lunch with all of my friends.
After graduation:
I plan on attending Blue Ridge Community College for two years and then transferring to JMU. As of now, my major is undecided.
After school is all over:
After college, my ultimate goal is to find a job that makes me happy and to have a family. I would also like to continue to get closer to the Lord, and I hope to remain in contact with all of my wonderful friends that I have made during high school.

Sign Ups, Fall 2020

Dear MS and HS Parents,
It is very important that you sign up now for the fall season.
We use the response from signups to form teams, hire coaches, secure referee contracts, plan transportation, order supplies and equipment. If you have not already signed up, please take a moment to do that now by using the link below.
The coaches and the Athletic Director will determine the team rosters based on grade level, ability, league rules, and specific team needs.

ES Sports
Sign Ups, Fall 2020
|
Dear ES Parents,
Students in grades K-5 may participate in soccer at GCS in the fall. The co-ed teams will be divided into grades K-2nd and 3rd-5th. The season runs from late August through early October. Practices are held at the VSDB soccer fields, one afternoon per week, from 3:30-4:30 PM. Dates will be determined by the coach, and parents must provide transportation for players. This is a skills-based learning opportunity.
If we have enough players in grades 3-5, we will play games in a league with other Christian schools. The games are on Saturday mornings throughout the season. If we do not have enough to play games, we will do a skills session each week.
