MAP Growth Score Awards
Congratulations to all of the students who earned awards for the MAP Growth scores for the 2025 - 2026 school year. The MAP test is designed to pinpoint exactly what a student knows and is ready to learn next, rather than just grading them against a single grade-level standard. This allows educators to take a student where they are and help them realize their full potential. Good job GSS students! Keep working hard!

First Horizon Bank celebrated 'Teach Children to Save Day' on April 23 with the GSS Pk and K students! Many bank associates and executives visited campus to teach the children the importance of saving and ways to do so. Using interactive worksheets and exercises, the students learned about money, how it works and how to best save as they grow. It was a special morning for these students who had many, many questions for the visiting bankers. Thank you First Horizon for a wonderful and informative visit!

2026 Fr. Harry Tompson Golf Classic
The 2026 Fr Harry Tompson Golf Classic teed off on March 20 at the Lakewood Golf Club. Before tee-off, the golfers registered and were given a GSS golf pullover as a special thank you gift. They were also treated to a lunch of fried chicken, lobster mac and cheese, green beans, bread pudding, and assorted breads provided by New Orleans Marriott.
The weather could not have been better for a noon tee off. With perfect weather, a clear day, and the excitement to be supporting a great cause, the golfers returned from their 18 hole adventure with some low scores. A special thank you goes out to our sponsors for food and beverage as well as our over 86 golfers who attended to support a great cause! More Photos Here |
Black History Comes to Life
Like a Night at the Museum movie, Ms. Smith's 6th and 7th grade history classes brought Black History to life this week on the GSS campus. Over the past 5 weeks, students studied key figures in Black History and the Civil Rights Movement, created posters, learned presentations, created costumes, rehearsed, and finally presented to the GSS community. It was a 5 week labor of love for the GSS students and they were proud to impressively show off their knowledge and their creativity to their peers and parents. Thank you GSS 6th and 7th graders for modeling and living up to the strong academic expectations of a GSS scholar.
