How GSSM Gives You "More"

Friday, September 21, 2012 - 10:00am

When I applied to GSSM 20 years ago, I was looking for more: more opportunities…more challenges…more people like me.  And that’s exactly what I found.  Attending GSSM was the most difficult and most profitable decision I have ever made.  It was hard to leave my family and friends…and my #2 status at my home high school.  But as soon as I visited the school and sat down in the cafeteria with a current student, I felt the camaraderie that I desperately was seeking.  Today, the opportunities, challenges and people have only gotten better!  After spending several years teaching, I accepted the opportunity to work for my alma mater and now serve as the Director of Recruitment for the GSSM Foundation.  I am so thankful for the opportunities presented to me since graduating from GSSM and I want to make sure that every student in South Carolina knows about this amazing incubator where they, too, can get more!  

GSSM is a public, residential high school for academically talented juniors and seniors from across South Carolina.  The school offers real-world learning opportunities that students won’t find anywhere else. GSSM is currently looking for high-achieving sophomores to apply to our program.
