📚✨ Mrs. Freebern and Mrs. Mulligan's U.S. History class took a step back in time this week as they dove into one of America's most debated eras — Prohibition! 🚫🍷
Scholars were divided into teams to debate the pros and cons of the 18th Amendment. Each team worked collaboratively to:
✅ Develop strong opening arguments
📄 Analyze primary source documents from the era
🎤 Prepare powerful rebuttals to defend their stance
From spirited discussions to thoughtful historical insights, these young historians brought the 1920s to life in our classroom. We’re proud of their hard work, critical thinking, and teamwork! 👏🇺🇸

[GESD] The Army vs Teachers Basketball game scheduled for today has been canceled. The local Army recruiter notified class officers this morning that they are now unable to play. This 11th hour cancellation is both confusing and disappointing. We apologize for such late notice. The Class of 2026

🚨 Future in the Trades! 🛠️✨
Last week, about 30 juniors and seniors from GHS had an amazing opportunity to visit Crisafulli Brothers' Albany office!
These scholars got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep the Capital Region running—touring the office, training facility, warehouse, and busy loading dock.
After the tour, they headed to the training room, rolled up their sleeves, and dove into some hands-on activities to experience the trades in action 💪. And of course, they refueled with some delicious pizza 🍕!
A huge thank you to Crisafulli Brothers for sharing your passion and opening your doors to the next generation. You’ve truly inspired our scholars and shown them the exciting opportunities in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical careers! 👷♀️👷♂️🔧💡🔥

🌎🎉 Spanish Scholars Take on UAlbany! 🎉🌎
Mrs. Barranco’s Spanish 4 and Spanish 5 scholars (SUNY college-level courses) had an exciting opportunity to participate in Spanish Day at the University at Albany!
During the event, scholars put their Spanish language skills to the test, deepened their understanding of Hispanic culture, and even learned some lively Latin dance moves! 💃🕺 It was a fun, educational experience that brought language and culture to life outside the classroom.
