If you are neurodivergent or suffer from mental health issues, avoid this school - and this entire town, for that matter - like the plague. You will be treated like a criminal. The counselors are a joke and have absolutely zero understanding of basic psychology. I'm genuinely amazed they still have jobs. Despite their constant preaching of morals and ethics, the administration is perfectly willing to blatantly lie to and manipulate students just to make them feel bad. Sometimes it feels like they're just doing it to satisfy their own ego - in which case, bullying teenagers has got to be the most pathetic method ever. I now understand why they use the Caveman as a mascot - it couldn't possibly be a more accurate representation of the administration.

School officials care more about targeting and singling out 'perceived problem' students then education. NEVER have I seen a school so detention and suspension happy.

As a former student of GPHS I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade my experience there for anything. Not only did participation in their excellent Orchestra Program, Cheerleading, Golf team and student body aid in the procurement of a full scholarship to Columbia University - once there I was as prepared or more prepared for my courses than many students who had gone to expensive prep schools. Particularly Mr. Alves, Baldwin and many others not only equipped me for college, but taught me something invaluable - how to think.
