There are some amazing teachers in this school district that are incredibly devoted to teaching and educating their students. Their knowledge goes beyond how much they care and want their students to be successful. Administrative resources could be better, like furthering the road to college for their junior and senior students. While that is lacking, they still provide access to scholarships and counselors. However, the idea of cutting the arts and music budget to allocate more funds to sports made me and many other students and parents realize the priority the school has. Greensburg-Salem needs to keep their arts and music as that is a way for students to truly explore to who they are.
As a former graduate of Greensburg Salem, I would have to say that this school district is the best district in the area. Of all the teachers that I encountered while at the district, I have found all of them to be dedicated to their field and student learning. The administration care for each student's progress and always take active measures to ensure student progress. The district is overall a great school district and I would say that they rank as one of the top districts in the area for academics, faculty, and safety. I say with confidence that almost all students who graduate from Greensburg Salem are ready for their next step in life. All students have emerged with a well-rounded education to pursue their next stage in life whether that be college or another avenue.
My career as a student at Greensburg Salem High School (GSHS) consisted of four extremely humbling yet valuable years of learning. Relying on a minuscule tax base, this public school served as a constant reminder that effort creates ability rather than financial status. Although my experience was hindered due to our constrictive budgeting and lack of external opportunities, it only brought me to strive for success with fiery determination.
The primary focal point of positivity in GSHS lies within the faculty and teachers; since the student-to-teacher ratio is quite narrow, the school's academics and sense of familiarity allows for exponential growth in the student body. Had the teachers not provided such a communicative and intimate relationship with students, I would not be nearly as involved as I am today.
Overall, the determined spirit of Greensburg Salem High School carries the school's positive attributes. With a foundation of effort, GSHS is a great fit for young minds.
