ESSA Replaces NCLB

On December 10, 2015, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which replaces "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB). The new law reduces the role of the federal government in educational policy and gives more control to states and local school districts.

Gabrielino Connects Program
Would you like to inspire students by sharing your professional story?

Gabrielino is launching Gabrielino Connects - where students interview professionals to learn about their careers via classroom video calls.  Last year, employees from Microsoft, a Wall Street Journal reporter, and a professional illustrator shared their career insight and experience with students.  This year, we hope to expand the program.  If you want to share your career story with students and give them a virtual tour of your workplace, please visit www.gabrielinoconnect.com to find out more and to sign up to be a volunteer!

​Message from the President
2017-2018

​Dear Gabrielino Families,
 
My name is Cyndi Chiou and I’m very excited to be your new GHS PTSA President and to welcome you to the 2017-18 school year! Our past president, Russ Martin, left some big shoes to fill. I’d like to thank him for his eight years of service to Gabrielino. 
I have three children in the district – a Cougar, a Bulldog, and a freshman Eagle.  Like my oldest son, Jack, I am new to Gabrielino. I’m truly looking forward to meeting and working with you, our teachers and administrators, and our dedicated PTSA Board. GHS PTSA has a reputation for being an enthusiastic advocate for our students, families, and our community. Together we can make this a successful and positive year for everyone!
