Get to know Ms. Mattson and Mrs. Whitlock - our new additions to the GWCS English Department!

Ms. elizabeth mattson

Now teaching English 10, 11, & 12 + Creative Writing

Ms. Mattson grew up in the deep South in the suburbs of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Immediately after high school, she went into the U.S. Army, which took her to Europe and Asia. She was a military police officer for four years, where she saw and experienced many life-changing events. After separating from the army in 2016, she is still living the army life, as her husband is currently active duty army. Her BA is in English from the University of Maryland, and her MA is from Southern New Hampshire University in English and Creative Writing. In graduate school, Ms. Mattson was invited to join the International English Honors Society, Sigma Tau Delta. She considers herself to be a life-long learner.

Her hobbies include reading historical fiction, yoga, running, and watching Turner Classic Movies. At home, she has approximately thirty-five houseplants, two senior cats, a golden doodle, and a ball python. She believes everyone has a unique purpose and a variety of talents that should be embraced, and it is her hope that she can help her students find self-awareness and develop an appreciation for all things English.

mrs. sylvia whitlock

Now teaching English 10, 11, & 12 + Creative Writing

Sylvia graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a Degree in Journalism. She worked for several Members of Congress and for national health care associations that lobby Congress for improved quality and access to health care. She also owns Whitlock & Associates which provides health care-related writing, legislative and advocacy services.

Sylvia is at her happiest when she is singing and has been in the alto section of many choruses. She is currently a support singer with the Sentimental Journey Singers (for individuals with mild cognitive impairment). Her husband, Rodney, is a health care policy advisor/lobbyist and an avid cyclist. Her son, Matthew, is a proud member of the GWCS Class of 2022 and currently attends The Pennsylvania College of Technology where he is learning to be an airplane maintenance technician. Her daughter, Samantha, is a junior at Yorktown High School, an honors student, plays volleyball, always has a paying job, and is devoted to Harry Styles.

Hey Juniors & Seniors, we want your thoughts!

Each spring GWCS high school juniors and seniors take part in an experiential learning program that introduces them to possible career paths, fosters academic interests, and offers meaningful, first- hand work-based experiences.

Each Friday for eight weeks, from April 21st to June 9th, our students participate in job shadows, internships, apprenticeships, and volunteer positions.

Please complete this survey in preparation for us organizing our spring internships!
