There is a collaborative relationship among administrators, faculty and students that ensures responsiveness to all voices.

The continued reflection of the faculty on best practices enables us to prepare our students to be forward thinking, adaptive, creative and innovative. Through their active participation in project- and community-based learning, they create literary video interpretations, apply engineering principles to map prosthetics, question political guest speakers, develop real-world statistical models, utilize technology to evaluate sources, support local charities, engage in community forums, and participate in 50 extracurricular clubs. Garden City High School's tradition of excellence challenges and inspires students to maximize their potential; in fact, our sense of community is a point of pride that ensures future success. By educating our students' minds, bodies and spirits, they are prepared to become compassionate, mindful and contributing members of society.
