GEAR UP Student Impact Team attended their annual Leadership Conference at Eastern Kentucky University. This year students participated in leadership development workshops led by Cool Speak, one of the nations leading youth engagement companies for students, parents and educators. Students learned to understand their own capacity to make a change, develop a positive self worth and access their core beliefs and understand the importance of knowledge and how to access information.

Mrs. Hoskins' AP Language and Composition class recently had a guest speaker visit and present on the Kentucky Innocence Project. Erin McQuerry (GCHS class of 2016), a law student at UK, spoke to the students about wrongful conviction and the work of the KIP to exonerate innocent individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. The students in AP Lang are currently reading the text Just Mercy and completing a nine-week research project related to the text. It is always great seeing alumni returning to GCHS to impact student learning! #gchsproud
