GKHS hosted students from DeKalb High School yesterday as they shadowed our Student Advisory Committee members through classes, lunch, and more—getting a first-hand look at what makes our school culture unique. This Friday, GK students will visit DeKalb to experience what a day is like as a Barb. This exchange is all about learning from one another, celebrating our strengths, and finding new ways to grow together.
