I love Gilbert High School. The teachers are outstanding and my daughter has lots of good friends and doesn't want to miss a day! They are doing something right!!!!
I graduated in 2003, having had 3 fantastic years at this school. I came in as a sophmore and got to meet other students early through the marching band (marched in Bush Jr's inauguration and placed 21st nationally in ABODA 2002). My grades went up tremendously, especially in math and history. The teachers are more than willing to tutor your before and after school, and also during your free period. There are plenty of activities students can be active in, from chess to sports to drama, ecology, even forign language clubs. The school is very large, especially from a reboundry in 2002 that added 500+ students, but it is very diverse and all the staff truly care about the student's education and well being.
Gilbert is a great school. They have an amazing ROTC program that has a diverse array of activities for a diverse collection of students. The teachers at Gilbrert seem to care for the most part. A select few go the extra mile because they really care about your career after high school. Complaints: there isn't a lot of emphasis on learning outside of school (ie reading more, learning on your own, etc.).
Good school, but the loss of 40 teachers will definitely be felt. Sports programs have really gone downhill in the past year or so. The administration seems to be trying to get the cheapest (ie youngest and least experienced) coaches possible, and in some ways the school still operates as though it is 1985. There are some really great programs and great teachers, but the counselors are overworked and the budget cuts can really be felt already.
Gilbert Highscool is a wounderful school to attend if you are in the 9-12 grade range.I love the agriculture and drama program at ghs, and the teachers are very good at there job.The food is awesome and they are a very caring school!i LOVE GILBERT HIGH SCHOOL!
The school is pretty chill. They have a great AFJROTC program that I love. It has been a great place to learn, grow, and gain good friends!
I absouletly love the AFJROTC unit there. It is so much fun! And the classes are awesome!
This is a great school with great acedemics, a fabulous marching band that made the top 10 at the Bands of America competition, and great athletes.
i think gilbert high school ia an awsome school they have great programs for the students and they keep them learning. i use to go to ghs before i moved and it was a great experience when i was there i went there for my freshman and sophmor year and both years i have tons of stuff that i will always remember. ghs is a a good high school for teenagers to go to.
GHS is a good school. Parents need to realize that it is high school and it is time to cut the strings to their kids. If you develop good communication with your child from a young age, you don't need to worry about the school being 'parent friendly'. I have had questions from time to time and I always get a quick response. They also use snap grades which are terrific!
