Garden City High School was recently named a Common Sense School, an honor that recognizes the efforts in teaching digital citizenship to young people and engaging the entire school community in this important discussion. The recognition acknowledges the school's commitment to helping students build skills that are essential for their well-being today—and for the opportunities they'll have tomorrow.
The honor is provided by Common Sense Education, part of a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.
Garden City High School is one of more than 80,000 schools across the country that use Common Sense Education's groundbreaking education resources. Margaux Calemmo, library media specialist at the Garden City High School, was also named a Common Sense Educator, as she spearheaded this effort. As a result, Garden City students are better equipped to navigate the digital world and use devices for learning.
