Schools

Impassioned monologues from a handful of public speakers failed to persuade the Gavilan College School Board to reverse an “appalling” $42,000 raise, which the board approved seven months ago for college President Steve Kinsella.

Math teacher Heather Parsons has full grasp of her students’ attention, and Gilroy Prep would have it no other way.

Fellow graduates, faculty, friends and family-  these last 4 years have finally led us to this momentous occasion…the 2012, and First, graduation of Christopher High School.

Proposed revenue-generating measures for several Santa Clara County schools fared well during California's 2012 primary election Wednesday, something School Board Trustee Jaime Rosso finds “encouraging” as the Gilroy Unified School District waits on results from a voter survey that will gauge support for a possible joint city-school sales tax.

Where Christopher High School graduates were accepted

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears! Yea, Class of 2012, you will never have to hear that in a high school classroom again!

Thank you. I am honored to represent the Class of 2012! Our parents would probably agree that it wasn’t very long ago that we began our journey in kindergarten. We entered the classroom holding our parent’s hand and with Minnie Mouse or Power Ranger backpacks on our shoulders. At the time we were nervous, scared and excited. I know that I cried, but once it started and friends were found, the path was easier. I know that I will always be grateful to my first teachers. They taught me to read and that opened the world to me.  

Where Gilroy High graduates are going to college.

Yeah, I took off the hat. Good advice from my sister, because every year it’s a big distraction.
