Principal's Message
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our families who have recommended GOC to other families in the district as an option for the 2021-2022 school year.

Please help us continue to spread the word that GOC's full-time registration is open through Friday, February 26 on a first-come, first-serve basis. Families interested in enrolling their students should visit GOC's website to learn more about our unique learning environment and to sign up for one of our upcoming Information Sessions.
