Currently in our 122^th year, our present student and staff of over 1600 believe in a high degree of commitment to both school and community. We value an educational environment where all who are willing can learn and achieve excellence, both academically and co-curricularly. We demonstrate caring and commitment as citizens not only to our school but also in our involvement in the Georgetown community as a whole.

GDHS has a wide variety of programs and courses available to its students. These programs prepare students for university, colleges, apprenticeships or other forms of post-secondary training. GDHS is an International Baccalaureate school. Our first set of students wrote their exams in May with great success! We have a demonstrated record of achieving excellence in the field of Academics, Technology and the Arts and also place a strong emphasis on school-to-work transition programs for students wishing to choose this career path.

We are the “Home of the Rebels” and have a strong tradition in the area of school athletics.  GDHS has achieved district, regional and provincial awards in many sports, such as volleyball, swimming, basketball, hockey and wrestling to name a few.

The history of GDHS is integral to history of the Georgetown.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

Now that I have had five months to settle into Georgetown, I am beginning to feel like a Rebel. The community feel of this school is not something I have experienced quite so intensely before. This school is very much a pillar of this town and it continues to produce students who are not only influential in Georgetown, but well beyond. This truly is a community with heart and GDHS both reflects and promotes those values that the community holds so dearly.

This past year, GDHS sports teams won 14 Halton Championships. This surely must be some kind of record. Our Sears Drama group advanced in that competition, and our Arts department sent over 140 students to New York City. Our school prom went off without a hitch. There are countless examples of GDHS supremacy, so suffice to say, it is a great school with great students and a superb staff.

Next year looks to be even more exciting (and busy) as the renovation plans move into full swing. These plans coupled with the Field of Dreams group (who are working to bring a new turf field and track to GDHS) will keep us all hopping. However, there are activities we are looking forward to, as we know they will both make an already great school even better.

Finally, I would like to wish Mr. Boychuk, Mr. Redshaw, and Mr. Moore a long and happy retirement. These three men have made a real difference in the lives of literally thousands of students. They have worked on behalf of the students at GDHS and helped them to achieve success, not only while they attended here, but also after they left. All three of them deserve our best wishes. - by S.
