Dear GHS Students,

Welcome to the start of a new school year! Whether you are walking through our doors for the first time as a freshman or preparing for your final year as a senior, the entire staff at Gorham High School is excited to welcome you back and support you every step of the way.

At GHS, our goal is to foster an engaging, inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and supported. This year, we are placing a strong emphasis on being fully present. In an increasingly connected world, creating intentional spaces during the school day to build genuine face-to-face relationships, minimize digital distractions, and focus on your academic and personal growth is more vital than ever.

This handbook is designed to be your guide for navigating the school year. It outlines our community standards, school policies, safety protocols, and student resources. Taking time to read and understand these expectations helps ensure that our school community remains safe, supportive, and focused on your success.

If you ever have questions, need guidance, or want to share an idea, please reach out to your teachers or school counselor, or stop by the Main Office to connect with Ms. Cifelli, Mr. Sawyer, or me.

Let’s make this a fantastic year!

Warmly,

Mr. Jandreau
