Teachers Prepare for New School Year

At the beginning of August, teachers underwent a two week-long training to prepare for the new year.  Sessions in teamwork, classroom management, discipline, and teaching strategies highlighted the two weeks.  Dr. Dionne Nichols, Chief Academic Officer for GSS, organized the trainings as the administration, teachers, and staff excitedly prepared for the arrival of students.
