Athletics
At GSFS, we believe that engaging in athletics is an essential part of personal well-being and social-emotional development. Students in grades 5 through 8 have the opportunity to participate in interscholastic after-school sports. Through athletics, our students enhance their understanding of teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and effort, supporting their growth in and out of the classroom.
Seasonal offerings include:
- Fall: Soccer / Volleyball

- Spring: Softball
Games and meets are scheduled with other schools for each sport, and students may participate in one sport per season.
