Hello Spartan Community
Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2026. We are looking forward to a great year of growth and rewards. We will not only see individual growth in academics, but in our culture of helping those around us to be the best version of themselves. It is the best feeling to know you have helped someone become better than they thought they could be. Second semester also includes Multicultural celebrations, an Italy and Greece trip, Awards ceremonies, Senior recognitions, and 'of course' graduation. It is going to be jam packed with activities. This will be fun.
As we begin 2nd semester please remember our processes and procedures to promote success for all. Each morning please come dressed in the appropriate uniform, be a positive influence to learning in class, and recognize good things that happen around you. Let's make it a good semester for all.
Go Spartans!!!

At Gilbert Public Schools, excellence doesn't come by accident. It comes from a non-negotiable commitment to student success across the district, which has earned GPS an A-rating for three consecutive years since the return of district letter grades - an achievement that wouldn’t be possible without extensive work being done behind the scenes at both the campus and district levels.
