Construction of the new building could be viewed as a hindrance to our set ways of doing things. But, as many of our community members are finding, it is providing us with openings for creativity.

Serving as a Trustee is my way of giving back to a place that has given so much to my family and helping ensure that future generations can enjoy this distinctive experience.

This school year, we’ve welcomed new faces to campus! Our newest faculty and staff bring a range of experiences, talents, and perspectives to our school. Get to know them below!

I have dreamed over my years at GUS about the generosity of the Tadler Grant for teachers and about the possibility of exploring our fourth grade theme, “The Sea,” in a deep, meaningful, and innovative way. Having taught students about the migration patterns of whales, I knew that if I wanted to see and learn more about them in the summertime…Alaska was the place to be!

“Those gatherings capture the heart of the school – the sense of community + belonging, the encouragement + support, and the way students are invited to be brave and completely themselves.”

As we approach our fiftieth anniversary, I am reminded of the families who imagined a different kind of school and had the courage to build it. Their vision became the GUS we know and love today. Now it is our turn to imagine what comes next.
