Glenn Hill Elementary is headed in the right direction. The teachers are committed and now the parents are showing a greater involvement.

Posted September 27, 2007

Being a teacher at GHES has given me the opportunity to see first-hand the commitment the teachers at this school have to each student. Many hours are spent outside of school time preparing individualized lessons to help each child reach their potential. The administration and teachers work to make this the best school possible. It is a privilege to work with such dedicated people who truly care about children and love their work.
