 GBS Senior Page 

Welcome, Class of 2012!

 

This page is a general reference point for Seniors/parents/guardians during the crazy 9 months that is Senior Year.  Please continue to check your other references (Guidance page, College and Career Center page, Daily Bulletin, etc) so you have the most complete amount of information possible.

 

Be sure to check back frequently as a lot happens Senior Year, and we will add new information as we get it.   (Please note that all times/dates are subject to change.  Many don’t, but things happen, and we will update this page as soon as we know of a change.)

 

ROSEMONT THEATRE HAS A NEW NAME!  IT IS NOW THE “AKOO THEATRE AT ROSEMONT”, so we will refer to it as such from here on out.  Same theatre, same location, just a different name.  Don’t get confused on Graduation Day!
