Seniors & Colleges
Seniors 2013
The GWCS Class of 2013 dove right into college applications and essays in their English Senior Seminar class. They are gearing up for a three day essay writing retreat at Lake Anna in early October. Students and teachers stay in rustic cabins on the lake away from distractions and surrounded by supportive friends and teachers. The first few months of the year seniors are busy submitting applications, keeping up with school work, and participating in various school activities. By mid winter most are done with applications and are stunned at the realization that their senior year is almost over. Early spring, college acceptances arrive (see list) and the whole senior class and a group of teachers celebrate the year with a week long beach trip to Corolla, NC. The senior beach trip is a week of creating memories that last a life time. The year comes to a close with graduation on Saturday, June 8, 2013.
