What an unforgettable night at our Student vs. Faculty Basketball Game! The energy in the gym was electric, the competition was fierce, and the school spirit was on another level!

From buzzer-beaters to big laughs, this game had it all. Our students showed up ready to compete, and our faculty proved they still have some serious skills

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support, cheer, and make this event so special. Events like this remind us what makes GBI such an amazing community

Who do YOU think really took the win?! 😏

What an unforgettable day at our Relay for Life fundraiser!

Our incredible teachers stepped up (and took pies to the face! ) to help raise money for an amazing cause. The laughter, the teamwork, and the overwhelming support from our school community made this event a huge success!

Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making a difference in the fight against cancer. We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for coming together and showing what it truly means to give back.

Who knew getting pied could feel so rewarding?!
