Inside GCMS

Three years ago this month, GCMS, in partnership with UCSD and our community set out to begin a college preparatory middle school in our neighborhood.   I am pleased to report to you that GCMS is succeeding in its mission of providing a high quality education to each child that will prepare our students for college.  How are we doing it?  The answer is simple; the PEOPLE.  At GCMS we have high quality teachers and staff that care about our students' success.  They will do whatever it takes to ensure that our children are learning and to personalize your child's learning experience.  They believe what we believe about our children; each one is capable of learning at the highest levels and college should be a reality in their lives.  Secondly, our parents and community are involved.   With 8,000+ volunteer hours for our students, parents in our community send the message to our kids that we will work together and stop at nothing short of their ability to access a college education.  As we continue to grow a learning community that becomes known for sending its students to colleges and universities, we sincerely hope that you will take part in making the dream for our children come to life!  Because they can!
