Welcome to Garden City High School!
This webpage presents various resources, including introduction videos and content created by each academic department showcasing the courses they offer to students. We will also be offering an in-person Q & A session and self tours of the building, scheduled for January 31, 2023. Doors will be open from 4:00pm-5:30pm. There is no specific time for a presentation, so you are welcome to arrive and leave at your convenience. The Q & A for the departments will be held inside the High School Library.
We encourage you to take some time and explore the information we have gathered below. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter.
