Instilling a strong sense of responsibility to our communities and each other is core to the values and educational approach of GHS. Rather than mandating a few service hours as an afterthought for graduation requirements or using community service as a disciplinary measure, service opportunities are thoughtfully woven into the student experience for all four years of high school and across academic subject areas.

One of our proudest traditions at Gateway is our annual Community Service Day, in which students dedicate a Friday to pitching in with community organizations across the city or on their very own campus, while building relationships with classmates and staff. Students design and plan their own community service project in their advisory sections, build a real connection between students and the social need they are working to address.This year students volunteered at museums, playgrounds, community pantries, and even ran a fundraising car wash on campus to benefit local nonprofits. It’s an amazing way to get the school year underway and is always a memorable occasion.
