From the Principal:
In order to stay up-to-date with the outstanding activities going on at Gross Catholic, I encourage students, parents, faculty, and community members to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Threads @GCPrinEubanks. 
I will highlight the many accomplishments of our students and staff each day. 
Dux Esto!

Counselor's Corner:
Thank you to all the parents and students who attended the summer scheduling nights at Gross. Time spent on these evenings allowed for a very smooth first day of school with students in class instead of waiting in the counseling office to make a schedule change. This also allowed teachers to have far fewer disruptions to their class rosters and class time. We plan to continue this process in the future. More information to come near the end of the school year.

Junior/Senior Parents - Be on the lookout for e-newsletters regarding ACT, FAFSA, and general things to expect during Junior and Senior year. These newsletter will come to you via email in the next few weeks. Please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Julie McNamara if you have any questions or concerns!  jmcnamara@gcgmail.org
