We Are So Proud to be GMSD

Lindsey Baker,

“My experience in GMSD was so formative, inspiring, and full of fun! I am incredibly grateful to have explored my diverse interests through both academics and countless extracurricular experiences, from serving my community as a GMSD Communications Intern to building school spirit on the volleyball teams at Riverdale Middle and Houston High School. GMSD’s inclusive, supportive community has given me the resources and encouragement to pursue clubs like Mock Trial and even create opportunities like Youth in Government, while also bringing me lifelong friends and memories. I will forever be grateful to GMSD for helping me become the best version of myself!”

"We wanted our child to have the best, be surrounded by kind, loving people, and we have found that at Dogwood Elementary. The teachers and staff provide a high dollar experience wrapped up in a sweet neighborhood school. I feel so much peace when my kids are there because I’ve seen the love and care that radiate through that place. Dolphin life is truly the best life!"
