Student Services

The Dean of Students' Office at GCHS is committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment that supports students' personal growth and academic success. Our focus is on promoting positive behavior, character development, and responsible decision-making. We work collaboratively with students, parents, teachers, and staff to address needs and concerns, and to foster a culture of respect and accountability. Our ultimate goal is to prepare our students to be responsible, compassionate, and productive citizens, equipped with the skills and values needed for success.  Keep It RED, Bulldogs!

School counselors assist students with their academic, social, and emotional needs to help them succeed in school and beyond. They provide guidance, support, and counseling to help students develop skills, address challenges, and achieve their goals.

Who We Are:
School psychologists have specialized training in both psychology and education. They use their training and skills to team with educators, parents, and other mental health professionals to ensure that every child learns in a safe, healthy and supportive environment. School psychologists understand school systems, effective teachings and successful learning. 

What Do School Psychologists Do?
School psychologists work to find the best solution for each student and situation; they use different strategies to address student needs and to improve school and district-wide support systems. They also develop programs to train teachers and parents about effective teaching and learning strategies, techniques to manage behavior at home and in the classroom, working with students with disabilities or with special talents, addressing abuse of drugs and other substances, and preventing and managing crises.

Who We Are:
School Social Workers (SSW) are a vital part of the educational team, working together with educational administrators, teachers, counselors, psychologists, nurses, speech and language pathologists and other staff. School Social Workers identify factors that can make school a more successful experience for students.

What Do Social Workers Do?
School Social Workers help STUDENTS achieve maximum benefit from their educational opportunities, understand themselves/others, improve interpersonal relationships, cope with stress and develop decision making skills.
School Social Workers help PARENTS participate effectively in their children's education, understand and meet their children's social and emotional needs, understand programs available to students with special needs and utilize school and community resources effectively.
School Social Workers help SCHOOLS understand factors (cultural, societal, economic, familial, health, etc.) that affect students' abilities to make maximum use of their school experience, utilize their resources in meeting the educational, social, and emotional needs of students and to promote a safe school environment.
