Good Counsel Academy! ...a land of opportunity! As an alumna, former teacher and administrator, I have witnessed significant chapters in the distinguished history of the Academy and realized the long-term outcomes of a GCA education. How exciting to be "back home" where the seeds of my academic and professional career were sown in possibility. As you journey with us on this web page and make additional inquiries as to the benefits of a GCA education, I invite you...
...as current student and parent, to visit the page often for updates on calendar and newsworthy GCA events , to "plug into" the spirit and practices of school life, and to use the tools provided for links to school services and programs.
...as middle school visitor in search of high school information, to explore your own possibilities and to consider us as potential partners in the pursuit of your goals. Note the avenues of possibility for you in the land of academe, student leadership, service, sports, clubs that address varied interests and invite initiative.
...as parent of seeker, to consider the environment of GCA where young women with dreams find a welcoming and supportive community; a values-based education rooted in Catholic theology and biblical teachings, with the outreach in service which these studies foster; non-discriminatory policy and practice; a challenging academic program; and many opportunities to develop leadership skills and foster personal interests in the various arenas of co-curricular activities.
...as alumna, to re-visit the place where you made lasting friendships and, hopefully, discovered the deeper places where you could tap into the resources of your spiritual, intellectual, and social self. Stay with us and share the gifts and graces that shaped your future as we commit to the future of your current successors at GCA.
...as welcome visitor with another purpose, to review the GCA philosophy, people, and programs on a virtual tour of this long-established high school community.
GCA is on the move towards the realization of an awesome mission, the education of young women in a world that is awakening as never before to the unique gifts of wisdom and expertise that women bring to the social, civic, professional, and business domains. And, all this with the courage to persevere in transformative practices. Yes, we believe!
"Confident women, compassionate leaders," the hallmark of the GCA education. As a community invested in the future of our youth, may we continue our journey in faith and trust.
Enjoy your tour and contact us for further information and on-site visits.
Blessings...
Sr. Laura Donovan, RDC, Principal
