    I can not remember a single day of high school when in the morning I dreaded the idea of spending 8+ hours within the halls and practice fields of Gilbert High School. All the teachers always showed they cared for us and our education. Anybody that entered the doors of that pride filled building could tell that every single staff member had a passion for what they did. Even with all the hormones that 14-18 year old kids have, it was a very rare occasion to see a student with a frown on their face. It was a great experience and it left me walking off the football field on graduation night remembering all the great times that were spent there!

    I really like the environment at Gilbert High School, everyone is very friendly and the teachers really care about their students. There are also many clubs and extracurriculars that are offered here which helps make high school more enjoyable!
    I really enjoy going to Gilbert High school. Throughout my four years there, I’ve had amazing teachers who have not only helped me excel in school, but have also made me a better person. I love how the students at Gilbert are friendly to all, no matter what “group” they may be a part of. As I walk around school, cliques are not evident and everyone just goes about doing their own business. The soccer program that I am a part of at Gilbert truly is awesome. I have built life long friends and the coach truly cares about his players and their success in life. I am very grateful I get the chance to go there!
