The State Report Card is out, and we are thrilled to announce that Gaston High School has achieved an overall score of 80/B on the state report card, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, staff, administration, and the Gaston Community.
This milestone demonstrates our commitment to ongoing improvement in key areas, including academic achievement, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, college and career readiness, and our graduation rate. We recognize that this success is a collective effort, and we remain focused on continuing to raise the bar for excellence. And most importantly, we celebrate our students, who inspire us every day with their hard work, determination, and pursuit of excellence.
Go Dawgs!
