GSAA Celebrates 100 Years
When GSAA opened it doors in 1918 it never imagined it would celebrate its centennial birthday. But during Alumni Weekend this year, March 30-April 1, we did just that...we celebrated GSAA's 100th Birthday! We had about 800 people in attendance during the weekend. A huge thank you to the senior class and the staff for their help . We couldn't have done it without them!
The Friday night Dinner with Former Faculty was well-attended and alumni enjoyed reconnecting with their former teachers. Sabbath services, class reunions, and a concert made the Sabbath day special.

We ended it all with the a special lighting ceremony on the lawn commemorating the 100th anniversary, complete with sparklers and birthday cake.
Following the ceremony was the annual Alumni vs GSAA Varsity in a basketball and volleyball. The alumni still have it because they played a great game against the students.
