At GECHS, we believe in the power of giving back to the community, and this commitment extends beyond our students to include our staff members. Recently, two of our staff members were recognized for volunteering at CASA Voz de Niños, an organization that provides support and care for foster children in need.
This act of service is a reflection of our school’s core values, where volunteerism is a chance to instill a sense of responsibility, compassion, and community within everyone at GECHS. #PhoenixPride
