A Message from the Principal It is that time of year again where we begin completing Part I of the ISTEP test. It is true that this test is one way to gauge student performances; however, our students are so much more than the results of a test taken twice per year. GCMS has awesome students who have made and will continue to make gains academically, socially, and behaviorally. We are working to empower and
educate our students so that they can be life-long learners in what ever area they choose to pursue in high school and beyond. We will continue to give 110% to our students daily and know that they are learning, growing, and maturing to be the best people they can be!
Finally, thank you to everyone who was able to join us for Parent-Teacher Conferences. We truly appreciate working collaboratively with you to educate our wonderful students. GCMS Proud, Dr. Maggie Hernandez Bishop, Principal
