THE GDHS STORY

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.
